This got my attention. If you want to get some power out of your older Rover, change to a hotter coil, a set of magnacors and Bosh Platium Plus 4's, a new cap and rotor and a set of O2's. Also go thru and do a good decarbon on the engine.
this will work much better then thrying to tweek the MAF.

I am actually going to adjust my MAF and Throttle Pot to see if it leans out first. I just checked over the plugs, wires, cap, and rotor and everything was fine except for the rich plugs. I figure you cant go wrong with adjusting the MAF since it is free. 1.8V here I come!

by "decarbon" do you mean a fuel additive to clean the injectors? (seafoam stuff is mentioned?)
Thanks for all the valuable insight as always...

I was going to change my coil out to an MSD Blaster 2 coil, Magnecore wires and some Platinum plugs.
Seafoam is a fuel additive that will clean out your injection system and decarbon your cylinder walls and some parts of your heads. I added it to a half a gallon of fuel and it did work! I noticed a little black smoke (not much) then it had increased power (but not much). By running a hotter spark it will allow you to burn off all excess fuel you would not normally burned off.
