These are all lean/rich on oxygen sensors, and transmission codes. First thing to start you process of elimination is to replace your MAF and clear the codes and see what happens. I would caution driving it to much as this condition as you have can ruin your cats and that's a big ticket item. These MAF's do not take well to cleaning. I tried it once and the MAF just died a few days later. I was very carefull to let it dry for hours before putting it back on also. Make sure to get a Bosch MAF, the aftermarket ones a trash.

Thanks for getting back to me guys.I am new to the Rover experience and will probably be bringing the rig to an independent rover mechanic for a complete mechanical inspection but it is good to know whats wrong ahead of time.
A few questions:
1. MAF - is this the mass air flow sensor and where is that located?
2. do i need to replace all the o2 sensors and where are they located?
3. any one know of a good rover mechanic in the Philadelphia area?

2. The O2 sensors are on the exhaust located under the floor/seats. 2 Should be between the center console area and the 2 respective wheel wells. It's been a while since I've done mine but if you just follow the pipes you'll find them. The back 2 are kind of annoying, at least mine were because I don't think they were changed for a while, the plug was stuck.

gavone download the RAVE MANUEL, it has part diagrams and thins to help you with DIY. The MAF sensor is located by the air cleaner box. It's a black electrical part that has wires running to it. To clean out the MAF sensor you need to look at the part and you will see two screws on the side of it. After you remove the screws that part will come out of the housing. After you have the thing out get some electrical parts cleaner (auto parts store) and spray the crap out of it.
Don't replace anything until you clean that MAF out. My rover has thrown the same codes after a mud bath and after cleaning the MAF out they went away. Clean it out clear the codes then re-post with the results-We can go from there.
