    It's been a while finally I watched your videos man caught up with some work and didn't have much time to watch videos! Glad to see you're doing great!!! I've to add something about the Discovery though.. I'm from Sri Lanka and people consider this as a luxury vehicle.. One old Discovery will definitely cost more than 50,000 USD here.. It seems like people who can afford these went with the hype and now they're kind of stuck as these are really hard to maintain here but they could sell if off by showing the name.. It's just not worth it. I mean it's a great experience to have but it doesn't make sense to buy an old unreliable car for that amount of money. That's just crazy!!!

    I've seen the MAF unplugged 2 times during your testing which can cause it to run weird until it goes to the default tune. I bought a 97 D1 XD in 2023 sight unseen in Portland, OR, slapped on a new front driveshaft, checked the lights, and hit the road. Made it home 2,400 miles later with 0 issues from Portland, OR to Houston, TX. XD is fantastic and has since been to 2 TX Off road events.

    • @captaincrankshaft
      @captaincrankshaft  24 дні тому +2

      There was a LOT more testing off camera of Maf and pretty much every other sensor. Thankfully the maf is still functional because we are currently in the mountains 👀.

    You should go and buy yourself a crate V12 and put it in there in place of the bad engine that makes it run bad I don't think it's the body that does anything to the car I think it's the engine I would put a V8 from a Ford Mustang that you can find at a junkyard the car going to an accident but the engine might be okay those are your two good options for this vehicle you should search up the drawer because that's my inspiration for putting in a V12 into this car

    Wait, did you guys check the O2 sensors? You could have a bad one that is sending all kinds of bad info. If you're getting spark and you're getting fuel then you need to check if you're getting air, a bad O2 sensor can mess with your head. If all that's ok then it's the ECM. I learned this from Rainman Rays Repairs. He rocks..
