DIY water pump and crossover pipe Video.
that’s good news. Not sure why you got the misfire. Sounds a little odd, but maybe some air got in the line as you mentioned or possibly a bit of debris/dirt when you cracked the line. Sounds like it’s all clear now. interesting the cel was flashing as that would indicate unburnt fuel was...- scott schmerge

Some suspension fault codes this morning
do you have the other end of it? I’d hang onto it in case you need to repair it. I’m not sure where that one terminates, but I would certainly avoid making any more cuts if you can avoid it. Did you try to trace the other end? You’ll need to replace the line I think. Edit: looks like exhaust...- scott schmerge

2013 LR4 engine noise from back, not timing chain
Glad you got it back. Have you done an oil analysis (they are not expensive) to make sure internals are not coming apart? Also, you mention the noise is coming from the back of the engine. Could it be possible it’s your transmission making noise? I agree with avslash, get someone to put a...- scott schmerge

Yes you can. Just be sure to remove the plastic fitting and hose from the front of the water pump so that you don’t snap that little elbow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- scott schmerge

2011 LR4 Misfire/rough idle
Just did a 350mile round trip to Asheville. She’s never run so smoothly since I’ve owned her! Averaging (according to the computer) about 20-21 mpg on highway. That’s considerably better than what I was averaging. Love this truck more and more.- scott schmerge

This is unexpected. Usually get about 16-17 average around town and this shows a marked improvement. No adaptation reset yet.- scott schmerge

LR 4 Retired
I thought this was a Land Rover board, not a Toyota ;-). I kid, I kid. Hanging on to mine as long as I can. Waiting to pick up a used (new style) defender 110 in about three years.- scott schmerge

2011 LR4 Misfire/rough idle
She’s done and runs great. It took me a bit longer than 5 hours with the cleaning of the engine. I also cleaned a lot of the plastic bits and some of the engine bay. Not a bad job at all. I bet I could cut my time significantly the next time I did this. one note, if you have a gap tool, there...- scott schmerge

2011 LR4 Misfire/rough idle
Good work! I’m about 3.5-4 hours in and the passenger side is buttoned up but still have cleaning and reassembly of the drivers side left. Will finish in the am, so 5 hours is a reasonable time estimate and about what I’ll hit too. Fingers crossed she starts! Gotta scope through the spark plug...- scott schmerge

Yeah, assuming I’ll have to do the same. Very much appreciate your help on this. I would not have scoped, but will now, just to make sure. Pretty sure I’ve got crap now in the engine :-( Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- scott schmerge

2011 LR4 Misfire/rough idle
I had thought about the shop vac route. Also had thought about what might have dropped into the engine. Why the crap don’t they have a rubber gasket around these injectors that keep junk out of that cavity? Seems stupid, but not much that LR does seems to make sense.- scott schmerge

2011 LR4 Misfire/rough idle
so mine came off on one side like you are describing but was very easy to remedy. I just reinserted the bolt onto the side of the rail that had released and pulled the other side. No bending of injectors occurred. Large o-ring and loose fit to injectors. The thing that keeps the rail stuck is...- scott schmerge

Two issues with my LR4
not sure on the brake pedal. On the transmission, I’d check your fluid levels. Sounds like low fluid. Also check your transmission cooler lines for leaks if level is low. Also, if your transmission has not been serviced and you have close to 100k miles, likely could use a service. Land Rover...- scott schmerge

2011 LR4 Misfire/rough idle
Times like this I wish I had the SC v6. This last injector on cylinder 8 (7 of 8 out) is a pain. I’ve got Seafoam penetrating petroleum oil hopefully working it’s magic. 2,4,6,8 much harder to get out because 1,3,5,7 were pulled recently (new valve cover). At least 30-40 pulls on the drivers...- scott schmerge

ok, so the fuel rail came off with a slide hammer from harbor freight. Took several good whacks with it but it’s off. In the 1st photo, theres enough on the transition on the rail that you can use the slide tool and lever it against the rest of the rail so it bites the edge.- scott schmerge
