Thread: inertia switch

A carb'd 86 RRC shouldn't have one - EFI models (And I'm slightly in the dark as to what year EFI started) have a fuel cut off inertia switch in the engine bay, on the firewall near the washer bottle - it has a rubber hood on it ( I think)

G`day

If fitted with factory EFI ( flapper ) doesn`t have one .

RR 89/90 with 3.9 ( hot wire ) had them first i think .

Rover cars and Jag cars had them pre 86 with the flapper EFI .

Cheers

Thank you for the info

Used to drive me nuts with the SD3500! If you ran out of fuel it would go into crash mode and you would have to tow it up 50kmh to get the fuel pump to start again.

Also located under the front passenger seat, definitely on 89 models anyway. Push the seat forward and access from the back.

Range Rover Vogue 1986, automatic

does it have fuel in it?

failing that dud fuel pump?

G`day , pretty hard from here but ....

Does it try to fire at all ?

Does it do anything when you just hit the ignition let it rotate a little then let the key go ?

Is the battery a goody and known to be fully charged ?

When you turn the key to on can you feel/hear the fuel pump relay trip ? ( as in put one hand on the relay and turn the key with the other )

What colour is the fuel pump relay ?

Cheers
