RangeRover is sputtering

RE: RangeRover is sputtering
If I remember correctly, cylinders 5 and 2are shared(waste-spark ignition system). One cylinder misfiring due to a bad plug or wire will cause the other to misfire as well.A faulty ignition coil could also be to blame. Check for a bad plug or wire on either of those cylinders, check for spark to either/both of those cylinders, and also check for a vacuum leak, these intake manifold gaskets are notorious for leaking due to relaxation of the intake manifold bolts. Usually a vacuum leak will set a system too lean fault, though, but if it a small enough leak, you could have misfires without the oxygen sensors seeing a too lean condition.

RE: RangeRover is sputtering
Thanks so much for the help guys. If it was a vacuum leak, would that make it make a sound like it has an exhaust leak. I am getting a ticking kind of noise whenever I press the gas. It sounds like an exhaust leak.
Two more questions:
1. If I just need to change the plugs and wires, can you recommend the best plug wires to get for this?
2. If its a vacuum leak. Is this something that I can do at home or do I need a major garage for this. If I can do at home. Is there a manual or tutorial somewhere that shows you how to fix it.
Thanks again for all your help.

Hey thanks Skyguy, are the lifters, something I can replace myself?Just realized that sounded like an idiotic question. Let me rephrase that. I am not a mechanic but I can read a manual well enough to understand what to do. Ok there is just no getting around this sounded dumb. Do I need any special tools or anything to replace the lifters? I think by now you get the point.[sm=chairshot.gif]

Lifters are inside the engine. It would require a tear down of heads. Very time consuming. Check this link out http://www.landroverclub.net/Club/HT...es_general.htm
