started it up this morning and i didnt touch the gas pedal. still hesitated alittle a couple times but it didnt straight up die right after i started it. im taking it out for a couple hours tonight and ill let everyone know the difference. so far it looks promising.

It is going to take a tank or 2 before you really notice anything.

just noticed im getting white smoke that smells like antifreeze. until it warms up and smooths out. although this is the first morning i noticed it. either its getting worse fast enough for the muffler to drip white liquid or this is whole new problem entirely.

I would run a can of BG 44K through it after a couple of tanks. YOu could have a clogged injector.

Default Weird condition

I got a 95 Disco that will start, but when cold seems to hesitate on normal acceleration until it is completely warmed up. After that it runs like a Porsche, smooth, clean, strong acceleration. But it seems to get really bad if its humid or has been raining. Seems like something is getting moisture, but once that is burned off it runs like new. It does idle a little rough at a stop light but once you hit the gas, the past is a memory until you get to the next light, then it'll have more spurts of idle roughness. I run 87 in it and cleaned the stepper motor about a year ago. Cleaning the stepper helped a little but still runs a little rough at idle in said conditions. Its has 140 k on it. Anybody got any ideas??

Thanks

In the dark of the night you may be able to see tiny sparks around worn plug wires, humidity would make that worse. IACV could use more cleaning, as well as throttle body, and the always last in line PCV breather oil separator on right side valve cover.
