Hey I,m new to the forum this is my first post and I own a 2003 freelander, Just brought it from a friend who was feed up with problems.
I,m a do it myself type person.

First i had to replace the broken t fitting 1 for water lines, 1 for vaccum lines with brass t fittings i got from lowes with that fixed.

I done a scan for default codes I recived them in the follwing order po300, po301, po302, po304, 1475, 1470, 1477, 1472 ?

Also i notice the cooling fans were,nt kicking on fuse still in good shape, my guess is replace the sensor under the intake, Can someone PLEASE tell me the best way to remove the intake? I removed the bolts on top of the intake but did,nt see any more am i missing some I could,nt get upper intake to come loose so i stopped. Thanks for any help...

 

dont guess when it involves a good amount of work.its usually not that sensor, usually the fan module... the little box thats on the fan shroud that hooks up to the fans... now, they dont kick on much, in fact, unless its a real hot day, they usually wont at idle. turn your ac on, let the car get hot and see if they do then, or just see if your ac is cold.
and as to the codes, clear them, drive it and see what comes back... do not drive the car if the mil starts to flash, but theyre codes for vis motors and misfires. also, youll get a new fuel pump if you take it to the dealer, and theyll clear the codes for you, new recall

 

Tried the ac on test with the engine warmed drove it about 10 min it started running hot (pulled over let it cool off). Started back home lost power around 55mph engine sputterd down to 15mph, Got home engine fans did,nt come on. Should I replace the fan module?
Also i cleared the codes and rescanned for default codes got the exact same codes again. The check engine light did come back on but it did,nt flash. what is a vis motor?

I pulled MAF/ throttle body assembly tube(to clean it) it had some thick orange/brown syrup inside the tube from the MAF to the throttle body. Any suggestion?

 

whats youre coolant look like, are you losing any, is it dark?... was your ac cold?... vis motors change the setup of the intake, allowing air to flow differently, it gives the engine a very flat torque curve.

 

The coolant is dark green, I only lost coolant due to the running hot.
The A/C does get cold but the fans did,nt kick on and engine temp gauge started to rise quickly with A/C running.

Where can i purchase the fan module and vis motor should it be at fault?
Any Idea what the goop could be in the air Intake duct?
