3.5 V8 lost all power...

(1/6) > >>

v8rangie:
Right finally got my Bobtail on the road and was geting around 5 MPG  :shock: :shock:

So i cleaned the engine through with 10k boost (de-coker) and was running fine for about 10 mins till it started spluttering and lost all power.

so i cleaned all the elec connections inc dizzy etc...

and stil the same. it will start and tick over fine but as soon s you put your foot down it takes a few seconds to get to about 1600 rpm and that is it. and i cant drive it at all there just isn't enough power to move the truck.

So i replaced to fuel pump which aint cheap and still nothing.

put some redex in the fuel and still exactly the same.


but went out today and now it wont tick over. it will fire but will cut out almost straight away.


any more ideas???

i have fitted new plugs, leads, dizzy and arm a few months ago.

Also tried a working ecu the other day but still the same....

Range Rover Blues:
Timing or ignition fault.  Timing would explain the low MPG and the poor starting.

v8rangie:
but it was strange that it suddenly lost power.

the only ignition part left to replace is the coil but could that cause the trouble?

ben_haynes:
yes it could be the coil but it could also be the vaccum pipe on the dizzy advance/retard bit fallen off or split

v8rangie:
Checked the vacuum pipe on the dizzy today and all fine no blocks or splits.

But now it wont start at all not even try to fire... :(
