I have a Range Rover that when you take off from a dead stop it hesitates and it has a real light skip. Also when you get to around 52 and 55 mph it starts surging. I took the plugs out and they are very white and I know it is running really lean. I have tried everything to get the surging fixed, I have replaced just about everything but nothing has helped it. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to what could be causing this problem??? Thanks a lot!

 

Hey...my land rover does the same thing...i'm not sure if yours has this same problem...but what's going on with mine is that the injectors are bad...It always gives me a hard time starting, and at higher speeds, i can feel it skipping...so what I'm gonna do is clean the injectors...if that doesn't help...I have to replace them...which will suck...$90.00 each! but my rover also has about 165,000 miles on it You could possibly look at your injectors...but i may be wrong...but hopefully this helps you out a bit....also..do you have the right plugs in it??

If petrol, it could also be the carbs.. if it is not an injection model.

It does sound like a fuel starvation problem, so would point to the injectors, or fuel pump/fuel filter in the fuel tank.
