Since a few months I experience, while driving, a very short engine stall. As if voor a fraction of a second there is no fuel going to the engine. There is not a recognizable pattern. But on a road trip is occurs once, sometimes twice and it can be gone for a couple of days.
It normally is about after driving 5 to 15 minutes, but it has occurred after an hour as well.

A couple of months ago I found a P1298 (injector driver module failure). Which makes sense.
I araised the code and never seen it again since. Don't feel like just to swap the ECU right away.

Today I found a P0744 (torque converter clutch solenoid circuit intermittent fault) which I think is not related. But I did not want to keep that info hidden.

Any ideas on possible causes?
Proposals for troubleshooting?

Any replies are much appreciated.

My car: HSE late 2007 203000 km TD4 automatic. I do my maintenance services myself. Bit more often than Land Rover prescribes.

Could it be something simple like the fuel filter ?

Thanks for the reply

Could be. But how woud that cause the very short interuption?
I can change it next weekend.

Maybe if there’s a blockage or water in it ?

good point! thx.

Could be worth reading up on crankshaft sensor problems on here. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

I did read the topic.


Read all the info on the crankshaft sensor problems.
Seems almost certain that this is my problem.

Ordered both a new sensor and a new sensor ring that fits on the crank shaft
(LR 021649 and LR 056028)
Cost about 40 euro in total.
Will replace the sensor first and the ring when I do the timing belt next year (needs a lot of extra work as you have to fixate the crank shaft).

Fuel Filter or crankshaft sensor.

Fix one if it still happens do the other then worry if neither solve it.

I've twice done fuel filter at service and since, still have the problem, so changing crank sensor this weekend.

Out of the two doing the Crank Sensor seems the easiest i've been assured it's a half hour job including stopping for a tea break. It's take a wheel off, move the cover a bit so you can get to the sensor, unplug it, remove one screw wiggle the new one in place, do it up with the one screw, connect the bayonet fitting, put the cover down, refit the wheel, job done.

Auto express did a photo guide to it as well.

Actualy I did it without taking the wheel off.
Found it easier to unbolt the sensor first and then disconnect the plug

How did you get to it, just angle the wheels or through the top and take the plastic cover off the engine? 2010 Freelander2 TD4_e GS
