lets hear the clip?

after the battery ran out of juice she started up just fine. Guess the ECU resetted or ? (and adjusted to the new MAF) Still have low vac, did build myself a smoke machine but couldnt find a leak.

on my DII i changed the MAF and the car ran like s**t. Black clouds behind. Tried to disconnect the battery for 10 minutes, but no change. Was going to take her to the dealer for a reset of the ECU but when i took a week. During that time I accidentaly left some light on and drained the...

I have the same problem with mine with new/rebuilt engine. No solution yet.

thx, that will be a nice project for tomorrow here is the smoker-link http://www.discoweb.org/forums/showthread.php?t=41878&highlight=smoke+machine

I have checked for leaks but can't seem to find one. What is the best way to check if I have a leak at: 1.Gasket at upper/lower intake 2. Injector Orings. (didn't change them, only lubed when rebuilt)

Question: Could a leaking exhaust cause low vacuum at plenum?

Little Update. It runs ok until it goes into closed loop for fuel-system (when working temperature) It "smells" when warm. Is that Nitrous gases? Runs like it has a falty O2-sensor (idles up and down and even dies) but no error-code on the ODB2 On the ODB2 the Absolute Throttle Position looks...

Changed the MAF and now it runs ok on cold starts now (used to die when giveing throttle) However it now throws out plumes of black smoke when pushing the accelerator. And also dies on idle when warm. And dies on acceleration. Before change of MAF there was no black smoke Will the ECU reset...

Have checked all tubes and still no change in vacuum. Around 14, steady (When throttle is opened and closed rapidly it falls to 0 and swings back to 18) So I have 3 options: 1. "IGNITION AND VALVE TIMING: 2. "Poor rings" 3. Or a leak First question What is the best way to check for a leak at...

thx, i'll have a look for leaks. One clarification. When she was stalling earlier the vacum was even lower. suddenly it jumped up and the engine doesnt stall anymore. She runs pretty ok, maybe a little weak, but not at all as before. I think I had a leak at the servo-pump-connection (where I...

ok, let me rephrase question. Maybe to much text above 1. Is 14 to low vacuum? (Guess it is, but car runs ok) 2. Is it possible to use Chris tip for measureing on a -99 V8 (no rotor) thx in advance... ;)

thx!!

My disco -99 V8 has been weak and "dying" when giveing throttle in neutral and also really weak at higher speeds (like maybe 100-120hp). I connected a vacum-gauge, since it didnt fit the connection I removed the steering-servo vacumline and put my meter there. It read 8 when cold but suddenly...

After getting my engine back from rebuild there seems to be no oil-separator in the right-hand rockercover-intake tube. I'm not sure if it wasn't there before or if they have not refitted it. Any experience on driveing without it? It's a disco-99
