So, I have an 88 Range Rover, 3.5.

It starts after a few cranks, idles (a little bumpy), and when I depress the accelerator, it spools up to 1200-1500 and then bogs out. To bring it back to idle, I need to feather the throttle until it is back.

I have done the following:
plugs,
wires
cap
rotor
coolant sensor
idle air by-pass motor
fuel filter
fuel pump


With all of that, the exact same thing occurs. I have researched the same symptoms, and everybody seems to fix it with the fuel pump...that was my last effort.


Can somebody please guide me. What should I do from here.

Thanks
Jason

You don't hear of this problem too much these days, but clogged catalytic converters will cause exactly those symptoms. They are obviously too costly too change on a "maybe" so I guess you would have too narrow it down further. Or, if you're friendly with your neighbors you could drop the exhaust and take it for a spin. `)
