Hi everyone,
I have just purchased this week, a Disco 1 3.9 V8 with an LPG system.
Unfortunately it does have a few issues that I need to address quite quickly.
Last night, when I was trying to work out where a whine was coming from, I put the autobox into neutral whilst the car was rolling. It then cut out on me. I am guessing this is to do with the idle control valve (stepper motor). I was wondering if there are any other suspects though to check out. Tonight I am going to climb in and take it off and give it a clean to see if that does it.
It is also under powered, or so I feel, I have nothing to compare it to, so I have boughgt a load of new iginition parts, dizzy cap, rotor, leads, and coil, air filter etc. Is there anything common that I can check.
It is running rich, very rich, but I have found a slight leak from one of the manifolds, possibly causing the lamda sensors to miss read? Any other suggestions on why it would run rich.
I will of course address all the things I know about, but it would be good to know what else can be checked, especially if it means I will get an extra mpg
Sorry for all the Q's :-D
