My only electrical/fuel problem was trivial by comparison, and Seattle Land Rover fixed it in short order: When my '94 D90 was about 4 months old (March or April of '94) the engine quit while idling in traffic on several occasions and it was difficult to re-start. [I was the *star* of several traffic jams in rush hour traffic - topless and nowhere to hide!] The LR service folks looked at the ECU fault code(s) and ultimately cleaned the contacts from the big plug that connects to the air intake sensor. I was told that some of the connections seemed to be fouled by grease which may have originally been too liberally applied to the connectors to prevent corrosion. After that fix, my D90 has run "faultlessly." Best wishes, David Rosenbaum '94 D90 ------------------------------------ From: BajaRover@aol.com Date: Sun, 11 Aug 1996 01:42:41 -0400 Subject: Re: MiniDigest part 2/2 for mendo_recce: 8/10/1996 re turned from the BAJA in the ole "59" good shape -----------------------------did it in style--------------------------------- To return to my Fathers death................................... makes \Rov seem simple A great POP........................................................................... ............... ------------------------------------ End of Digest
