I have a Freelander 1.8 on a 51 plate. Now I’m pretty good technical wise but this problem has me stumped.
The Hippo starts fine, first turn of the key and drive great from cold. Once warm it bogs down below 3000 rpm. Above that it fly’s and can easily teach the 6500 rpm limit.
It idles well with little to no fluctuation hot and cold.
I’ve changed:
The plugs (for new)
Ignition leads
Known serviceable inhibition units (from my workshop.
Manifold pressure sensor.
ICV
Checked for leaks, non apparent.
All this and the fault remains, I’m thinking it’s rpm related so TPS, possibly injectors or fuel pressure control diaphragm. It could of course be a dodgy ICV, swapped the old one for another from the local scrappy.
Any thoughts, hints, or known cure would be welcome.
Cheers
