Thank you, I'll do that next. I always assumed that it required no adjusting (hence the tamper proof plug). And that therefore this issue would be unrelated to this setting.

Thanks for all the input here! Timing is correct. Even changed out the vacuum advance unit since the old one was broken. I did not set base idle per the manual. I was under the impression that you do not have to reset that. Especially since it was running fine before. Therefore there is a...

Thanks! Correct... I was applying throttle. IF not, the warm engine would stall. I installed the new TPS conversion. So that would hopefully not be an issue. -IAC is new -I have tried a different spare MAF (including a spare new aftermarket one). -Plugs and wires are new-ish (Champions, not...

Good point, I should have mentioned that I have the following (new): https://www.roversnorth.com/ProductDesc.aspx?code=PLM085&type=0&eq=&key=it But doesn't the reading look correct? Thanks!

Range Rover Classic 3.9 I show the following rovergauge readings. Symptoms: -Won't maintain normal idle speed when warming up. - Once warm, stalls if not applying throttle. Looking at the readings (with my limited knowledge), it seems that the following are in line: Foot was on the...

Just curious, Since the TPS (ETC8495) is one of those parts that get's expensive to replace.... And I'll eventually run out the spare ones I hoard: Has anybody installed this conversion kit? http://www.tornadosystems.com/product/act-rover-v8-14cux-replacement-throttle-pot-tps/

That's what I was afraid of, thanks for the update!

I was definitely looking at a different site. Just vaguely remember Meridian from an old post somewhere. So that explains. Thanks for the link! So this is the remanufactured box that has the bushing on the input shaft replaced with a bearing?

I'm considering getting a RRC rebuild power steering box from Meridian (if they still rebuild the Land Rover ones). Since I'm having issues getting a hold of them... do they still do this? And for the ones who have one... was it worth it/ what's the price range I will be looking at?

Sold. Thank you all for the interest and positive feedback.

I like how you referenced Joel's 1995 RRC restoration. Whenever I need motivation to work on my classics, I read that thread start to finish.

Thank you both for the response, That's exactly what I ended up doing, I had some spare locks laying around (couple of rust free tailgates I'm hoarding), so I was able to remove tumblers, and after some puzzling, I got all of them matched up. Also took the opportunity to remove all the...

Bump... $60,000

I understand... I postponed it for a year and a half. Heat is over rated... but once that windshield starts fogging up, you might re-consider.

Adding to Doug's comment: The AC blowers are in the passenger footwell (right above where your passengers feet would be), and are indeed different from the heater blower which is in the center of the dash (in it's own housing). The AC has it's own resistor for the blower speeds. Mine was...
