Yes my disco shuts down at low rpm but if i hold the acelerator and brake wont shut off. Once im on the high or moving car okay. I want to know where the stepper is ,how to clean it and what do i use to clean with. I have another problem when i apply the bbrake sometime the car shut down with a short circiut pop i hear in the radio. It pops then shuts down in low rpms while driving on the high way shuts down then car turn on again but not at low rpms i have to turn it on any ideas? |

I was wondering where it was too. Neither photo in that FAQ looks like my motor. I have a 95 Disco w/ 3.9 V8. The photo for the 95 model looks like the distributor/plug wires are at the rear of the engine, they are not there on mine. The photo of the 96-99 does not match mine either. Are there any photos of the actual part when out of the vehicle?

For the 95 3.9 V8 the stepper motor mounts sideways on the rear of the plenum chamber(passenger side). Its the only thing back there and looks like a large spark plug with the top cut off and replaced with a fitting to hook it up to the electrics of the truck.
I used carburator cleaner (aerosol can with a small diameter straw attached) to flush out the internals while avoiding the electrical fitting.

Geez, if it was a snake it would have bit me! I get it, the photo of where it is on the 95 doesn't actually show it, just where it is located. I thought it was wierd that there wasn't anything in the circle. I was able to remove mine by hand without a wrench, is it supposed to be wrench tightned or torqued to any spec?
Thanks.

Gotta love that!
I don't have my manual with me and don't remember if there was any torque specification. Nice snug fit without overtightening. Use loc-tite or equivalent (non-permanent).
