Hi all

I need some advice I had an OBDII reader on my 4.6 range rover as it seemed to be running rich and had a rough idle. This turned out to be the MAF.

My OBDII reader showed the fuel trims as

Short Term - 25 Lean
Long Term + 25 Rich

I booked the rangie in to have the fuel trims reset at my local stealers. I got the vehicle back today and it still did not seem to be running properly

When I put the OBDII reader on the fuel trims still read

Short Term - 25 Lean
Long Term + 25 Rich

Would I be right in assuming that they have not reset the trims, but have just reset the fault codes?

The vehicle is running rich 9mpg round town, where as 2 month ago it would do 13mpg under the same conditions.

lambda?
 

Acording to my local stealers, there was a misfire on 2,3,5,8 and I have now replaced the coil pack those cylinders are on.

My concern at the moment is whether then have done the adaptive reset. the data from my OBDII reader implies they have not?
 
Why not ask instead of getting opinions. Then you will know.

I phoned them today and they insist they have. Just seems very coincidental that the long term trims have not changed after a reset.

It would not be the first time I have had issues with my local stealer, but there is no-one else with the right kit for 90 miles
