Hi all.

So I recently got my 4.2 running after some time off the road.
It was running and Reving rough but previous owner had had it fault read as lambda's so I have swapped them both.
It now starts and revs great when stationary and not under load.
However when driving it seams to hesitate until 2000-2500 rpm then takes off and when you throttle off to change gear or pull up to a junction etc the revs die and it cuts out unless you keep revs up.

Any ideas before I book into a specialist?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Steve

Hi Guys.

Thanks very much for your replys.

We adjusted the throttle stop slightly so the idle is set at 1100 (any less and it stalls) and it now drives ok.

I have spoken to Racing green and APM and will be getting it in for a set up if I dont find some one local to plug in and reset my ecu etc.

Thanks again.

Steve
