Land Rover Repair: Disco II electrical problem, mass air meter, crank sensor


Question
Hi,
I have a 2000 Disco II.  I replaced both head gaskets 2 weeks ago and all of a sudden, while the car is idling (once at a light and the second time in my driveway), the car died.  I believe it's electrical b/c it just quit...no cough, no sputter.  Also, checked a plug wire for spark and nothing.  I felt the wires that plug into the coil and they appear secure.  Battery cables are clean and secure.  Is this a coincidental or did I not plug something in securely?  Ever heard of this?

Thanks for your experience and reply,
Doug

Answer
Well, if you took the truck apart and two weeks later it stops running . . . you have to ask if that's coincidence or you left something loose.  If I were to bet it would be on the second choice.  What I suggest is that you check for stored OBD II fault codes and then check the crank sensor connections.  Also check the connections to the coils, and the mass air meter.
