Thread: Revs dont drop....

Your problem is in a couple of areas ....

So the cheap stuff first .....


All those black hoses going from the rocker cover "fire trap" to the intake need to be taken off and cleaned

You need to clean all of the intake side of things

Stepper motor / Hot wire on the MAF / All vacuum hoses / Butterfly inside the plentium .... Unscrew the "Fire trap" off and clean it

Kerosene & circuit board cleaner are your friends





Also check that the rubber flex hose of the intake from plentium to MAF has no cracks .... Also check for vacuum leaks



After that good clean up .... If that doesn't settle it down, then other items need to be looked at

Thanks Mike. Will get stuck into it.

The other thing to do is remove the rotor and drop some engine oil down the shaft below as the centrifugal advance can seize if not lubricated.
Take out the little screw if you feel necassary.
BE CAREFUL taking the rotor off as if you pull too hard a circlip in the dizzy will break. If it is tight it is best to break it in bits to take off with multi grips.
To test it turn the rotor a bit only against spring pressure. It should immediately spring back.

Will check the rotor too mate. cheers

(Don't know if this applicable to V8 LRs)

How is the return spring on the accelerator assembly.

Similar problem recently with my son's Nissan Patrol.

I'll clean and spray some WD40 on the accelerator springs...see how that goes too.

I'm thinking broken not stuck!

I hope it's not broken. Will check during daylight tomorrow and let you know.
