94 is different animal to 97.
94 has 3.9 Disco engine with coil (under hood) and ECU in front passenger seat box. My 95MY NAS90 has an error box next to ECU but maybe not on a 94?
97 has 4 litre (but it's still 3.9L capacity) RR engine (I think) which comes minus the coil and if the same as the UK Anniversary D90 has the ECU under the hood therefore looking for the white wire is probably futile!

Have you checked that the accident fuel shut-off valve has not inadvertantly shut-off the fuel pump circuit? If like my 95MY it is located under the hood directly against the bulkhead right underneath the hood top surface in the centre of the vehicle. Little black box with rubber push button. If you push down on button and it clicks it had tripped out. If you gently tap the valve with the plastic handle of a screwdriver this should knock out the valve like you had been in an accident. BTW this is a good trick if you want to check the electrics and do not want the engine to start, or if it will not start to fault find without passing loads of neat fuel through the system and damaging the cats.
