Troubleshooting Starting Problems On The Discovery I
Applies To:
Discovery I | '94-'95
Some 1994 & 1995 Discoverys have had starting problems caused by poor connections at the coil. Replacing the spade connectors with eyelet terminals seems to cure the problem.
You will need five eyelet terminals, 1/4" shrink tube, an 8mm wrench and the tool to cut the wires and crimp on the terminals.
Disconnect the battery (make sure you have the radio code). Remove the wires from one side of the coil at a time to avoid mistakes. Clip the spade connectors off, leaving as much wire as possible. There should be two wires on each post of the coil plus the radio suppressor on the positive side, five wires in all. Strip the wire and slide the shrink tub on. Crimp on the new eyelet terminals. Apply heat to the shrink tube to insulate the connections. Reconnect the terminals to the coil. Reconnect the battery. Re-code the radio.
