    Downshifts 2 gears at 60mph kickdown...

    Not sure if this is normal, because my other 3 rovers never did it, in fact most the time at 60 there was no kickdown... but this 96 I finally got up and running, you kick it down out 60, it downshifts 2 gears and you take off... Here's video of it .... Kick down at about the 1 minute mark...

    97 D1, runs rough, gas smell, smoking exhaust.

    Unplug your ECM... see if there is any corrosion at the connectors etc... put dielectric grease on and put it back on... Here's a 25 page thread detailing my almost same issue, but only tossing the p1316 code... http://landroverforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=36444 Put a new (used) ECM in...

    Aftermarket Catalytic Converter review

    The rear o2 sensors really don't do much, other that tell you the cats are working. As I understand it, they don't modify how the truck runs in any way. So why not just for go them? That said, in my setup I did weld in the 2 extra 12mm bungs and put them in... Video of how mine are setup...

    Need ECM 96 D1

    Looks like my ECM is bad... good going in bad signals coming out. All I have access to here is a 95's ECM which of course will not work. Anyone have a ECM that I could put into the truck? Thanks

    97 D1, runs rough, gas smell, smoking exhaust.

    I had that one just laying around my shop. Not sure why I had it or where I got it. Just happen to fit.

    97 D1, runs rough, gas smell, smoking exhaust.

    There are plenty of cheap screw in type fuel pressure gauges. I simply just leave one on at this point... total cost about 15 bucks if you look around. you can see what I'm talking about in this youtube video.... http://www.youtube.com/user/NGARover#p/u/5/eP6sSGc8GP8

    OHM readings.. confused.

    Might have to do that then. I can get my old originals tested for 50 bucks for the set. That will at least tell me if they are working correctly. The full set of the ford 19# was 35 bucks. so it was a cheap way to see if my injectors where the issue to start with. Course, I can't do a lot with...

    OHM readings.. confused.

    I've cleaned the MAF with with maf cleaner, again, twice. I've also swapped the o2 sensors from the rear to the front, cleaning them in the process, (Heating them up red hot with a torch and removing any contamination) made no difference. Look, you don't have to be an ass, I'm asking a question...

    OHM readings.. confused.

    Well, great. If it's not the coolant temp sensor causing this issue then what is? The IAVC is new. ECU was swapped to make sure mine wasn't bad. (done by a rover specialist that had the truck a week to get it to this point) I've replaced the thermostat (twice) I've had the engine compression...

    OHM readings.. confused.

    Ran outside and got some video of it. I only have a tire pressure gauge to check the fuel pressure, if had no pressure before starting it. running it looked to be about 30psi and when I shut it down again, I got no reading. In the video you can hear it run, see the smoking etc...

    OHM readings.. confused.

    I thought that I might have bad fuel injectors also, so I pulled out the original ones and put in a set of Ford 19#. This was before finding the stuck IACV, but the injectors did make a difference, and allowed me to actually drive the truck to the shop 45 miles, where before I could get about 3...

    OHM readings.. confused.

    That's the opposite of what it says in my RAVE.... Quote- Engine coolant temperature sensor (ECT) The resistance of the strip varies considerably with coolant tempature, I.E. from 28k ohms at -30C to 90 ohms @ 130C and 300 ohms @ 85C So after reading that, I thought I would see 90 or less...
