got me confused, but I think I know where its headed.
Got the disco back after the camshaft change (not terribly worn, but job is
now done) and the airflow meter failure.
So yesterday, heading off to the wilds of salisbury, gave it a bit of stick
to join the M2,
nicely and cleanly up to 90.
and then i felt it. the stutter. well thats the only way i can describe it.
Everything felt fine, but at 70 its got a judder/stutter. Let off the
throttle, the stutter goes.
Arse I thought. Day out ruined. but we didnt overheat, so I kept going.
Then I thought, low on fuel.
So I filled up.
And the hiss from the fuel tank was somewhat impressive - never had it go on
for that long before - serious vacuum.
Anyways, full tank, no difference. 65mph onwards get the stutter.
Well, we then spent all afternoon and evening in lowrange, and had no
problems at all (down a bit on power) but no stutter.
As soon as we hit 65 again, stutter.
So i'm thinking
is it
a) the airflow meter that was put on, still isnt right and I need to get a
new/recon unit
b) an ecu/sensor issue
c) the vacuum that built up in the tank, even without the cap being screwed
on tight
any thoughts / similar experiences?
the only other thing of note is that when the camshaft was changed (I gave
up) they found the engine was somewhat silted up with crap - missed at least
30K's worth of servicing
