Hey all. I was having an issue with my Discovery. I was having a bit of spirited driving, racing my buddy in a bmw. I was running 5000 rpm+ for about a mile, and basically topped out my LR while going up a hill. (I hit 120 btw )
All was well as we slowed down before we saw any cars and we were laughing about it. About 10 minutes later I was cruising at 80 and went to accelerate a bit, and it seemed almost like it wasn't getting any fuel. It sputtered and choked. I let off quickly and thought "Oh shit" then when I went to hit it again it ran just fine. No noticeable noises afterwards, no funny smells, ran just fine all the way home.
My question is what could have caused this? I have a sneaking suspicion its my fuel pump, as I was low on gas while thrashing it wide open for several miles. Should I replace that or wait until I either figure it its good or it strands me?
It almost seemed like the damn MAF sensor came unplugged, but I dunno.
