Hi, just woundering if a 2002 Discovery 2 fuel pump is the same as the fuel pump in a 1999 Discovery 1. Thanks

 

Hmmm. I thought there was a connection between throttle position and up-shift points just as there is a down-shift kick down related to throttle position; I wonder if there is an adjustment for the shift point.

Yes, I agree on the leaves. I am surrounded by oak trees and spend weeks annually picking up leaves on two acres or so in the fall. I bought a used Olathe 48HL sweeper some years back which helps tremendously on the areas that are flat enough, but this is NW arkansas and not much is flat around here.

 

nevermind the pump is different because it doesn't have the advanced evap so no pressure sensor just checked

 

You got me thinking and I realized your right, there is a connection and it's called a throttle valve. That is what the "kick down" cable is connected to. So your correct, the adjustment is in the Rave for the "kick down cable". It's under the vehicle, drivers side, lots of fun. I suspect that is why your not shifting into fourth until 55mph.

 

My kickdown cable adjusts up in the engine compartment and when I tried adjusting it to the dimensions in the spec it held the throttle open to a very fast idle so I backed it off again I didn't see any way to adjust them separately. Kick down seems Ok, but I'd like the lock up to be lower.

However, reading the RAVE again (just what the heck does RAVE stand for anyway?) I see the spec for convertor lock up as:

Lock up (IN) D 51 - 54 MPH, 1875 - 2000 RPM
Unlock (OUT) D 49 - 52 MPH, 1825 - 1930 RPM

So....The convertor lock up speed must NOT be adjustable, which is inconvenient when so many of the roads around here have a 55 MPH speed limit and the little towns that are wide spots in the road all have lower limits so it is locking and unlocking most of the time.

Then again, the fellow who sold the Disco to my Bro-in-law for scrap did so in part because he thought the transmission was slipping. It may have saved the old girl.
