Thread: idle worries

hello to you all,I have recently purchased my first landrover(& I love it),but Im having trouble with the idle sometimes,sometimes it misses as well,especially if I go up a hill slowly.The other symptoms are ,it will start easily when cold but as soon as it warms up I need to give it a little throttle while its cranking over to start it...Another thing is its fuel consumption..TO travel 100kms I will use around $48(near half a tank).I have checked my vacuum hoses etc,and my distributor,all seem to be fine.......My landrover is a 1994 V8i(petrol)Any help would be greatly appreciated,thank you.

I would say that your ECU temperature sensor is dead and it is on full "choke" all the time if it does about 40L per100Km .

There is something definitely wrong with the injection to have that type of economy, unless you are measuring around a race track or have it in low ratio or both together.

So if you are unsure take it to a specialist for a diagnostic check up.
