Kv6 cold start splutter
Have an issue with one of my 75s.
On cold startup the engine fires up but after a second of running at choke level revs it drops to a splutter , almost stalling then suddenly pulls back to normal higher choke revs. The car is a little slugish for the first few minutes of driving then come good. The car will tgen startup and run perfectly the rest of the day. Been doing this for a while now but i think it getting slightly worse. Sonthing to do with cold starts ! |

If you've got an auto box it might be the stepper motor. I had something similar where it would start fine, rev fine in reverse as I turned it round and then as I shifted from reverse to drive the revs would briefly drop away for the time it was in neutral. Changed the stepper and it was fine again.

Its kind of strange, only happens when stone cold.
Kicks over perfectly and the revs for the first second are right where they should be when cold then the revs just drop and and rough unless i touch the accelorator would possibly cut out. Give it a quick stab of the pedal and revs returns to the correct choke revs!! Im wondering if this started after i removed the intake manifold a while back. |

Did a bit of a search, seems alot of kv6 owners suffer with similar issues.
One landrover owner reckons may be either o2 sensors or knock sensors causing the startup splutter. |

No idea why it is called fuel injector O ring kit. it is the service kit for the assy on top the of throttle body allows extra air into the inlet manifold to enable fast idle when cold.
