HELP NEEDED FOR POORLY RANGE ROVER

<< < (2/3) > >>

bullfrog:
Might be worth a go but this could be an unrelated problem.
Try hotwiring the airflow metre by supplying a + feed to the purple wire.
The car should run fine like this( tickover ) It should allow you to rev it lightly.
if this does then airflow metre faulty.
Hope you get it sorted :?

smog:
Personally I would check the LT cable around where the rubber grommet goes into the dizzy on the side, if it looks ok check again then check again the rubber perishes and it directly shorts most times it looks ok but it only takes the once.

Take my word for it I checked too any times before I found this fault and it was giving me the same symptoms as what you describe albeit a 3.5L and a manual not that I suspect much difference.

Hey what do I know though? :roll:

Garth:
Well still wont run.  So RRC coming home on flat bed and I am going down to tow caravan home in morning

gtomo2:
Sorry to hear that not a good way to spend your holiday fixing a car. I know i have been there done that and tryed to find a waterpump on a easter sunday :x . Hope you sort it out

deranged rover:
Don't suppose there is the possibility that DIESEL was put in the tank. Have you checked the receipt from the filling station?. I had this on a mates RR and it ran fine on tickover but rev it and popping, backfiring etc  together with the smoke! it wasn't til i asked if he had just filled it up, the penny dropped! the fule could also be contaminated, always a possibility when the tanker driver fills the wrong tanks....it would still smell of petrol. Best bet is to try pumping from a can of fresh petrol at least ot would rule out the fuel as a prob.
