Thread: 3.9 land rover 40L per 100kms please help

So your getting about 200km per tank?

Advance the ignition timing to 10 degrees BTDC

Check the value of the ECU temp sender when hot, should be around 300 ohms. Plug looks like an injector plug just behind the thermostat housing.

Check the fuel pressure regulator isn't leaking fuel into the manifold via its vacuum hose.

Clean or replace your MAF with a known good one.

Check your brakes arent binding!

Check the vacuum advance, pull the vac hose off the intake manifold and suck on line. If you can suck air through the line the vac advance unit will need to be replaced, this is bolted to the side of the distributor.
Also the temp sender will cause the same problem.

Mocky.

maf,

It sounds like you have my old Nissan Patrol engine under your bonnet. I was getting figures like that so i bought my new Defender to replace it.
