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

More likely an intake manifold gasket, than a valve cover gasket.
unmetered air into the mix will throw off the AFR, which could cause the bogging.
sure sounds like clogged cats.

I wonder if you could convert to a single aftermarket cat, and still pass I/M.. Try calling an exhaust shop, I've heard Micky's Muffler is good.

Chris, if your around tomorrow or this weekend sometime...you should stop by and give it a spin. Let me know how it compares to yours (acceleration, power, etc). Give me a call tonight.

Allright, Let's Race 8)
glad to hear you got it running better,
i'll call you after work tomorrow.
