Sounds like fuel pump issue to me. Air delivery isn't sensitive to uphill or downhill or turns, so you can rule that out. Ignition could be sensitive to turns if you had bad wires or a loose connection on the distributor, but hopefully you would have sorted that out while checking the cap, rotor, and coil. If you haven't changed the plug wires, I'd do that anyway. Fuel delivery is VERY sensitive to pressure, throttle position, and engine speed. Just my $.02. -P | ||

yeah, i agree. anything more than idle and the car acts up. sounds like it is running out of gas a little? fuel pump are just known to go bad. i used one from an '89 caddilac seville and it works well. rd | ||

Rob, was it the same size? did it require any fabbing, or did it fit right in? it doesnt say much about it on the RangeRovers.net site. thanks a million jon | ||

all i had to do was strip two wires and change the ends. they are supposed to use some proprietary harness to plug in and i used radio shack slide on type. it's hard to explain, but i would call it a direct fit aside from the ends of the wires being different connections. if you are even considering doing this job then you are probably equiped to handle it. as for supplies i had a veriety pack of plugs, wire stripper, solder and soldering iron and shrink wrap. screw driver for the removing the pump. my truck by the grace of god was not rusty around the gas tank, maybe it was replaced sometime. but it took 3 hr start to finish. possible the quickest mod i've had on the car. i forgot to mention this includes me cutting a hole in the back for an access panel, all in 3 hours. i cut the wire that is connected to the fuel pump that runs under the carpet then i soldered and taped it back together. i later found out that if i would have followed this wire it would have unplugged from somewhere, i am guessing under the passenger seat near the relay. email me if i left anything out. our post here i check throught the days rd | ||

RD, thanks! i found the BW P-39, think i'll give that one a try with the higher static psi. (for no reason other than i am the embodiment of murphy's law and need all the help i can get) I'll let you know how it goes. Jon | ||

I would try replacing the coil with the LR part, not an after market coil. Testing the ig coil on flat ground does not show the fault you may have. I have seen this several times before. It begins as a problem with engine stalling while off-road on the side of a mountain. Later it develops into a stall on right hand turns (turning the steering wheel does not stall engine, it's the actual right hand turning of the truck). When more oil leaks/boils out of the coil, it gets worse. By this time you are crazy tying to figure it out. Other brands of coils may look the same, but they have different enternal wiring, which can be measured with a multimeter. After market coils also tend to leak when mounted horizontally. I have 132K on my RRC. So I bought a fuel pump to replace mine on my on terms (rather than being stranded). It will also be interesting to see if any changes occur simply by replacing the fuel pump.

Jon Glad you have got that one solved. Wonder what new problem will pop up to take that one's place? Randall | ||
