| Martin, that explains why my attempts to figure out the switch positions with my multimeter were fruitless. Thanks for the insight! |

| Thanks Martin, I have the electrical manuals and looked at the wiring diagram before but I was thinking it couldn't be right since there wasn't multiple outputs for the 0,1,2,3 positions for the headl ... |

| I have a 2008 2.4 Puma and the previous owner did a real hatchet job on the wiring and I have the headlamp leveling switch (AMR5874) but the wiring in the console has had all the connectors cut off so ... |

| Blackwolf was correct! It was the schrader valve (yes Andy63 it's missing the green cap) that had gone bad. It was honestly the one thing I didn't try and now I feel so dumb. Some duct tape and zip ti ... |

| So I've been working on this for months and still can't figure out the problem. My 2008 Defender 2.4 suddenly stopped starting. She turns over fine, battery is new, new filter, starter recently replac ... |

| It's a city driver so never offroad. I would think an air leak would be upstream of the HPFP I just can't find where. Is there a check valve on the 2.4 so the fuel doesn't drain back? |

| If you followed my other thread here, my shop had a hell of a time finding out why the Defender would turn over but not start. Turned out to be airlock in the fuel line. They said they "fixed it& ... |

| Well after a week at the mechanics with no progress I rolled my sleeves up and got busy. Long story but in the end... air in the fuel line caused air lock at the pump in the motor (2.4 so no pump in f ... |

Car came back from another mechanic who confirmed immobilizer was set to off.
Could the VCV suddenly have complete failure and prevent fuel from getting to the rail? Trying to eliminate options he ... |

| Siwynne, there is no FOB and the immobilizer is bypassed. How would the battery or immobilizer system interrupt fuel getting to the rail?[/quote] |

| Fuel filter was just changed 6 months ago. I still can't figure out how a starter rebuild could mess up something in the fuel system. Maybe the VCV went bad at the same moment as the mechanics rebuilt ... |

| Just returned from the shop and spent a few hours there with the mechanics. They took one of the pipes off the common rail and there was no fuel coming out... so now I'm really stumped. How did this g ... |

| Out of curiosity, could a bad ignition switch cause the motor to turn over but not fire up? I've had some issues of when the car gets hot after driving it won't turn over at all (all other systems fin ... |

Thanks for all the replies. This is the worst time for this to happen as I'm supposed to ship this car back to Europe in a few days and it has to be drivable for inspection before leaving Qatar.
