Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone could help. I have a couple issues with the engine on my 1983 diesel 88 and I was wondering if they are both seperate issues or could it just be one issue that is causing both the symptoms.
The symptoms are:
- Engine doesn't idle when started (or very roughly when been going for a while) so we use the hand choke to solve
- Engine doesn't turn off when you turn the key (just idles roughly until you stall it in gear)
I was wondering if both could be a faulty valve in the injector that was both not injecting properly and also not stopping fuel being sucked in when the ignition is cut.
I might be way off as this is my first land rover and I have only had it for a short time, so sorry if this sounds idiotic!
What should someone do to diagnose the fault if they had these issues.
Cheers for your help.
Pete
