    Location of 1991 3.9 efi starter motor relay?

    Thanks Kev. Have ordered a replacement starter. Figure that with all the deep water / mud, I will need one sooner or later even if I can get the old one to work. Now just need time to try a swap.

    hunting, no throttle response, backfire :-(

    If the MAF or TPS have failed, these would cause misfires. Other issues likely secondary to poor running of engine / alternator.

    Drinking oil

    Smoke after warm idling could point to worn valve guides. Not sure if these engines are susceptible to that though.

    Location of 1991 3.9 efi starter motor relay?

    I got time to look under the lower dash panel today. The relays were in a slightly different order but can only assume this is because the car doesn't have the heated front screen. (I found the leads marked L I S and W as per the RAVE diagaram, with S leading to the yellow starter solenoid...

    aha, with your guidance I found the diagram in RAVE.... not sure how I missed it before.... that's what happens when trying to hurry.

    Thanks for the information and yes, you're correct, it's a Range Rover. I'll edit the title thanks. That's a bank of relays I haven't spotted so far. Will have a look tomorrow when it's light.

    Hello all. Hope Christmas was good. I'm in a little bit of a hurry and have a starting issue..... always the way :confused: Car has been running well and starting on the button, even with the off road abuse it's had recently :) Luckily, I was most of the way home from a great day's...

    Steering Guard selection

    Thanks Rob. Sounds like sage advice. Don't want to spend ridiculous amounts but figure if I go with steel rather than aluminium, should be able to handle a bit more abuse.

    Steering Guard selection

    Hi All hope I'm not flogging the proverbial horse here, but looking to fit a steering guard to my 91 Classic. I think, on price, I've narrowed it down to one of these two but open to suggestions: JC736 - Steering Guard Range Rover Classic and Discovery 1 RHD/LHD with Jacking Points and...

    1989 RRC - what is the rocker switch on the steering column?

    Haha. Will have to fabricate a click collector next, they might be valuable!

    1989 RRC - what is the rocker switch on the steering column?

    That was my first thought when he asked, although it doesn't appear to be for that. On my 1991 vogue I do have a push button in that location to open the fuel flap. I.e on LHS of column on RHD car. Mystery remains! Cheers

    1989 RRC - what is the rocker switch on the steering column?

    A friend of mine has a 1989 RRC vogue 3.9. This is LHD and from the Greek market. He has a rocker switch on the LHS of his steering column that looks to be factory. It has a 1 and 0 on it. When pressed, there is apparently a click but he can't figure out what it's actually doing. Is this...

    3.9 hot film petrol injectors always open! Petrol is coming up the intake trumpets!!

    Ties in with the facet I can't get the effing sump plug undone! Car is all back together but I can't try and start her because the oil is full of petrol. So high it's reading right up to the top of the dipstick!! Now, where did I leave that syphon?:rolleyes: not had a pushrod v8 before...

    3.9 hot film petrol injectors always open! Petrol is coming up the intake trumpets!!

    Ok, so replacement ECU came today and using this the injectors appear to behave normally. So there it is, the very first thing I looked at and which appeared to be ok really wasn't. Lesson learned. Now I just need to put it all back together and see if she runs! Not all bad news because I'm...

    3.9 hot film petrol injectors always open! Petrol is coming up the intake trumpets!!

    With connector unplugged from ecu, testing at rear of connector 11-ground = open ciruit 13- ground = open circuit 2 - ground = open circuit 11-13 = 8.6 Ohms 11-2 = 4.6 Ohms 13-2 = 4.6 Ohms I think this is as expected and means the loom is ok? When I plug the ecu connector back in and...

    3.9 hot film petrol injectors always open! Petrol is coming up the intake trumpets!!

    Will go and get a reading of these but can I assume you mean resistance? I have no way of measuring impedance.

    3.9 hot film petrol injectors always open! Petrol is coming up the intake trumpets!!

    My search for a backup ECU begins :-) You're right, that is my next step when I get the time. For the sake of moving a few wires and returning the loom back to factory connections at least it will prove whether the fault lies in the LPG system or not. If not, must be a knackered ecu or...

    Thanks Kev. If the replacement ecu model number differs do I need to swap the map chips from original to replacement ecu?
