Not sure now. Having a read about that Wynns additive, it says suitable for E10 compatible vehicles. Being a 1993 engine on mine it's not.
Used to use octane booster when I wanted to 'upgrade' my fu ... |

The more I think about it the more I'm wondering if its the TPS?
I've spoken to RPi engineering a couple of times and they've said it could be MAF sensor or TPS but they'd need to plug in to ECU to p ... |

Tempted to put a dollop of this in as it's only a Sunday vehicle so takes me a little time to clear a tank.

Normally put super unleaded in but at a rural filling station today, they only had E10 unleaded.
Do the Rover V8's handle this alright or is an additive needed? |

Fast forward a bit more and I've got it running at correct idle. Disconnected battery which I think has reset the ECU and she ticks over nicely.
New problem is that she now cuts the power at 3000rpm? ... |

Got a V8 + auto gearbox in a 90 from a Disco 1, converted a few years ago.
Seen several other threads on the net of people wanting to convert auto to manual and it's usually advised against, but as ... |

Currently, on 235x85R16 on wolf style et0 rims.
I think the 255's will be too big both visually and gearing wise, but... I'm still tempted to try.
Then might try 235's on the ANR's ( if they'r ... |

| Fast forward to £11.95 for a new IAC Valve. Fitted it, started her up, cured, a lovely idle of around 850 - 950 rpm. Turned her off, started up again and back up to around 1700rpm. Been the same ever ... |

On a 3.9 V8, anyone know a part number or description. Think it's gone a bit porous and drawing air.

| Yep, they seem a bit troublesome from what I've read. It wasn't really grubby which seems to be the main tell tale. Whether flushing it with WD40 will help if it has seized, but cycling it as you say ... |

Yes @mikeh501, I think they're also referred to as a stepper motor.
A bit more research and looks like they're threaded for the movement to take place, so a number of 'steps' between settings.
