Thanks for that,I have tried getting it down with the idle adjustment but I'll check the butterfly,makes sense now you mention it.Might get a chance to do it now before the next bout of rain comes in....

Finally I have had some spare time that has co-incided with dry weather.Having fitted the new temp sensor the engine ran on petrol for 20 mins without stopping and started immediately after switch off,so I doff my hat to you all for your expert advice.The only slight problem is I can't get it...

I appreciate what you are saying about the flametrap/hose/plenum and will sort that as soon as I get a replacement.Thanks for the diagram,I could not locate the sensor yesterday,could only find the two at the front. I'll get that first before condeming the ECU.Forgot to mention it is absolutely...

Spark cold is fat and bright,have not had chance to check when warm,tried to start it cold this afternoon and it wouldn't .Amp is on the dizzy,there is a RPI A&R power amp on the wing but it is not connected. I'll see if the engine will co-operate tomorrow and try the spark warm.

Bought my first RR, an 89 Vogue a week ago,3.5 EFI (flapper),LPG as well.I've had starting problems with it,started it from cold,on petrol, 10 mins ago runs OK til it has warmed up,then it stops and won't start,maybe tries a bit,same on gas.My only experience of these engines (SD1) is running...

I'm new to all this,bought an 89 Range Rover Vogue 3.5 a week ago,looked OK,body off chassis work had been done,new suspension,now I'm finding the problems....off to a technical thread.

Sorry to dig up an old thread,a mate has recommended this guy but can't tell me anything beyond him being on Tong Rd,can you,or anyone,give more info?
