Hello,
My '06 disco was running fine then suddenly began running very badly . It won't idle belches black smoke from the tail pipe. I have a distinct odor of gas. My best guess is an fuel/air intake problem maybe with a sensor. It almost acts as if its out of time.
The check engine light is on & outputting about 12 codes as I understand there is a central unit that processes the sensor outputs . Has this unit gone bad?What is it called?where is it located?Are there meathods of checking it?

Any help GREATLY appeciated!
BWR

Might check with the LR-3 section. We stopped getting Discovery's in 04. They got badged LR-3 here. Post what the codes are and we might be able to give you an idea of what to check. The ECM contolls most of your sensors, but not likely that is it. One thing can throw many codes. Post exactly what you have and we can help

Call your dealer and ask them to tow it in, do not drive it>
