    1986 Range Rover won’t start

    Hi! Me and dad need some help with our 1986 Range Rover, EFI V8. It used to start and needed to be revved at 1800rpm before it’ll run good and now it won’t start, will turn over. It had spark, fuel pressure at the fuel rail, tried the ignition module upgrade to the Bosch module but now there’s no spark at all. Not 100% sure what I’ve missed with the ignition module upgrade but if anyone has any idea that could help us out, it would be greatly appreciated!
    Thank you 😊

    Pending the Bosch module is ok and wired correctly, check pickup in dissy, it's air gap, have had the wiring break inside the dissy.
    Dud cap or rotor, dud leads??
    There is a relay that works in conjunction with the vac dashpot on manifold to cuts spark on overrun down to around 1500 rpm from memory, apparently give problems and get bypassed. Mine was working ok with no issues, so never had the need to play with it.
    There is a manifold mounted valve that uses manifold heat for extra air during cold starts.... could have something to of with cold start running issues.
    Efi coolant temp sensor, air flow meter, injector resistor pack....lots of thing that can give running/starting issues.
