2002 Land Rover Freelander Logo
Posted on May 24, 2010

I have a Land Rover freelander 2003, with V6 engine 2.5 liters. After starting the engine shakes and stalls or judders in low revolutions in neutral and when I accelerate. What I do is turned it of and restart the engine two or three times and engine works fine. But when I turn It off for more than thrre hours and I start it again it begins again it skes and stalls again. When it stalls, shakes or judders it looks as if it has lost power and is not running o 6 cylinders The fuel pump was changed about rhree months ago because the factory made a recall. José

First of course make sure the basics are ok and not in major need of a tune-up, after that check the throttle plate for excessive coking build-up, the computer is reliant on small amounts of air passing through to properly raise idle, usually this problem becomes prominent when your a/c pump comes one (which can even come on when using the heater or de-frost) especially when the car is cold( restarting the engine a couple of times can affect the engine temp, though probably unlikely) An injector cleaning has also been effective in elevating idle,but wont correct the problem in itself, as cleaning the throttle plate can.(check with vehicle maker for any precautions to take when cleaning throttle plate. I usually use carb-cleaner and a tooth brush. Also check for vacuum leaks and wiring harnesses. Listen for a fuel pump prime when key is turned to the on position(usually 2 or 3 seconds) this usually just causes extended cranking time though . check this stuff if all ok give me more info and I'll give you some tips on how to isolate your problem

I have a petrol 1.8 2000 freelander. 5 min after starting the engine shakes and also it judders when ever you accelerate. Im thinking it ether the spark plug or the coils and it just not fireinging on all...

leads and coils are a cheap and common replacment for this engine(carried in many dffrent models) they fail after about 5-10 years . but could also be stepper valve or the wirering just underneath. it can chaff on the bracket their check insulate and zip ty out the way.

Automatic vehicle stalls at low rpm

This is proplem with the IAC valve , try clean the valve and if that doesnt work replace it.

An IAC (idle air control) motor is designed to adjust the engine idle RPM speed by opening and closing an air bypass passage inside the throttle body
