Please help Newbie owner.

Hello,
I have a 2006 Freelander 1 2.0 TD4, I had lumpy tickover and following advice found on this and other sources I got a Rover Ron MAFAM and replacement MAF (Not Bosch) as it appeared as though this would cure the problem, initialy it appeared to, but after a run 150+ miles however it appears to have re-occured.

Yesterday after a trip back from the coast 80+ miles I tried to start her straight away and she would tickover for 2-3 seconds and cutout, no respnse from throttle either it took 10-15 minutes to get her to start and run properly.

Would this suggest fuel pump issues??

Other than tickover and initial pickup I am very happy with the performance - pulls well in all gears above 2000 rpm.

I have also fitted an EGR bypass.

When I bought the vehicle it had just come back from Landrover dealer having had 2 injectors replaced to cure hot start problem.

Thanks
Sean

I recently had similar symptoms, lumpy tick over, but fine once it was moving. As it was going OK I took my time getting advice, looking for quotes (I decided it was probably an injector on the way out) but after a couple of weeks (but a lot of miles) it failed in a big way, leaving me stranded at the side of a duel carriageway. My AA subs were good value this year!
My point is, don't put it off just because it is only affecting tick over.

Juding by this thread it is probably cam shaft position sensor.

I pays to search

I had seen that thread but I thought I would ask the question anyway as it is the first time I have had the hot start issue, althogh I cannot definately remember having tried to start her so quickly before.

Thank you
Sean

good test fer the cam shaft position sensor is freeze it [the aerosol stuff plumbers use to freeze pipes] spay the sensor if it wont start [when hot] if it starts straight orft . . . . .keep the spay or change the sensor
