My engine is misfiring. . .I'm pretty sure its a misfire. NO - I haven't installed any water pumping devices into my fuel injection.. yet. . .

Heres a list of symptoms.

1. When I go into idle, it's not constant. When pressing accelerator, sometimes engine wants to stall.

2. When I go into 3rd or gear down or up it begins to misfire.. .

at this point. . .

2a) If i slam down the accelerator the misfire propogates and worsens.

2b) If I release the accelarator, the engine resolves, and then I can climb to a higher rev again / / that is until the misfire repeats at some point.

To me this sounds like the fuel injection system. Could it be something else ? Same thing happened to my fathers BMW last week ! So, we're a bit supcious of the local fuel stop.

Has anyone tried to re-condition their fuel injection system DIY ? I've poured some STP 'jet' fuel (cleaner) in with a full tank, to clean the gizmo in the thingi. . .only a 10th through the tank / so really haven't given it a chance to clean up good yet.

Also . . . Is there a program/cable to read Freelander computer using a laptop ?

Seems as though the STP is working its charm ! Engine is misfiring less and less as I get through the tank.

Other than that / no one seems to have offered advice regarding fuel injection system. So, fuel injection systems just get dirty, and STP jet fuel or similar product does the job.

Buy a new rotor arm from LR.

What year is your Freelander

What year is your Freelander

more importantly, what engine is it ?

 

[Mtechuk]

Thats a good point. Youve spoilt the guessing game know though. lol

 

[eightinavee]

You've spoilt the game now,I was hoping he would go in the parts dept and ask for a rotor arm for a TD4 !

 

[Optimus Prime]

well if you're replacing the rotor arm on a td4, it would be rude not to get new plugs and leads

 

[aussielander]

a rotor arm for a TD4, wow bet they are expensive. be a custom one off

 

[Mtechuk]

While he is at the motor factors he could also get a box of blue engine sparks to go with the plugs, leads and rotor arm. lol

 

[aussielander]

and for better peformance get a bigger carby

if he's fitting a new rotor arm, he'll need to ask for a long weight too.
