I've had an issue with my 4.2 and could do with some assistance, the car has been overfueling and twice I've had to tow it to get it to start. I had a few issues which I thought I had sorted out which could have been contributing, I have fitted a new throttle cable (sticky), new ends on the throttle linkage and set up the air flow with a synchrometer, once balanced I set the throttle pot readings up to match at 18.4 at idle. A quick road test and all seemed ok, refitted the air boxes etc and drove 3 - 4 miles into town, wouldn't start up again though. Each time I check with lap top I have a lambda fault on bank 1 although they both seem to be scrolling up and down ok. Would this recorded fault have any bearing on my issue ?? cleared the fault again when I got home and car drives better for now!
