Title: V8 Not Running Good.
Post by: 300TDi Disco on November 11, 2008, 19:15:36
Hi Guys & Gals, I thought it would be a good idea to clean to engine bay a clean down as it was looking grotty. I used a jet wash to do this, and i didn't blast the water directly at the dissy or coil as i know they are the parts to avoid. Now i have power problems (poor performance). It has got a range rover 3.5 v8 auto but it feels like a 1.0 saxo. I have checked the spark plugs, removed dissy cap and used hair dryer, Used a shi*e load of wd40 leaving it over night to do its job and still runs poor. Anyone Got any ideas on what i can try next? I would be gratefull


Regards

Matt.

Well after a night of doing this & that the verdict is the stupid silver box with a curcuit board and some resistors. (ECU).


Think i may have to go the TDI way..     :dance:
