V8! Had a Gut Full

<< < (2/2)

Kenny:
Try changing/cleaning the AMP for the coil. This is bolted to the body, right where it can get really, really wet. If you off road or get wet try this. Had the same problem myself, spent hundreds trying to find out, replacing bits and bobs all over the show and that was what it was.

bilge rat:
so it  doesnt start when the orange light is on ?, but as soon as it goes out it fires ? alan.....

Range Rover Blues:
Yeah, that's how I read it.  Is it Hot wire or flapper EFi as the former will run with certain fault the later could not tolerate.

Things like throttle sensor/air flow have redundancy (air flow is temoremental though)
Has it got lamda sensors?

Whatever it is it's the worst type of fault to tracem, an intermittant one. Is it getting slowly worse?

petergalileo:
Have heard this sort of problem happens with non-landrover rotor arms.  Apparently some pattern parts have a thinner contact at the top and it sometimes causes the spark to travel back down the arm and earth itself inside the dizzy.  Once the arm is changed for the land rover part with the thicker contact the problem is cured.

Just an idea.

Spooky:
A mate of mine's having very similar symptoms on his '91 registered V8i - he's discovered that by disconnecting the fuel temperature sensor, the car runs fine ... :-k
