Re: Rover v8 sd1 efi new injectors

Thanks for all the info. I shall do some more investigating of the cables and see if i can get hold of rover gauge and a suitable cable. Yes they are the same injectors with the same number on them

and yes, 14CUX Hotwire but not sure of the map but sounds like it will need to be remapped

Rover v8 sd1 efi new injectors

I’ve recently replaced all the injectors in my 3.9l rover efi v8 and it is constantly running very rich now. How can I fix this? The exhaust fumes are so over fuelled they make your eyes water!! Thanks in advance

sorry, im not sure what CTS is?

there's not so much black smoke but when i put my hand over the exhaust about an inch away, lots of small specks of oil and the exhaust is very harsh smelling generally

and its a flapper system - cold start injector on side of the plenum is usually unplugged
