The Salvage Auction Range Rover Project is Finished, but unfortunately lasted a few miles before it went into limp mode and clearly has a significant issue that would take considerable time to figure out and fix. I don't think its worth it anymore and I'm sending it back to either the scrap yard or salvage auction to try and recoup some of my money.

Sammie, for a complete bank misfire involving multiple coil packs and injectors but not the other bank theres only two common denominators. Most likely it is the O2 sensors. They are the preheat type with a preheat fuse. O2 sensors and cats are the only things that are involved in fuel trim by bank. For all bank cylinders to misfire you likely have a lean condition caused by the O2 sensor reading rich when it's not. Replace the O2 sensors for bank 2 I'm assuming and your problem will be solved. You're too close to walk away because of a bad oxygen sensor. It always seems to be bank 2 sensors that cause total bank misfire.

Oh, Sam- my heart goes out to you; you've been performing CPR on a hot dog! Let the RR salvage guys take it, get what you can, move on. Expensive lessons learned, not to be repeated! Can I advise you- invest in a quality smoke machine. Well worth it. Test all air, coolant, exhaust for leaks, test fuel systems, test air/vapor actuators, solenoids, etc. Remove and eliminate expensive, time consuming & frustrating guesswork, burned hands, and risky flammable brake cleaner- that can easily flare up on a hot exhaust and quickly melt nylon hoses. IMO OTC sells the best model. Please consider buying one, would enjoy seeing/hearing your joy with a repair from using. Take care, Sam.

Im in the UK. I think i know what the problem is... I have came across a fault like this before on a couple of them. It is ether oil or water in the engine loom delaying the sensor ping from or to the coil packs on the one side. I have seen oil in the ECU that has run inside the wire sheathing. Which created all sorts of problems. The wiring looms are different lengths for ether bank of four. The speed of information traveling from the flywheel TDC pickup is split in two to the ECU. The cam sensors are split also. If any corrosion or any foreign objects delay by a millisecond...... Like your drive in sport mode. The oil or water in the loom heats up and reduces the signal. I hate them with a passion. I wont ever work on one again. I bet a new engine loom would fix it. Cheers

The Tiger there is also money to be made having some common sense. It’s called taking the path with the least resistance. I suggest adapting some. He’s already experienced in sourcing used parts, why not a used engine? The problem with Range Rovers is all the engine parts are prioritary from the manufacturer. Aftermarket companies are not allowed to make parts for them. Each gasket or any part is very expensive. You can’t go to auto zone and buy parts like you can on other cars. With that in mind it’s a no brainer with a little common sense.

Yes, anything can be found and fixed but most people wont fiddle with it for days and if you dont do the work yourself your paying a mechanic. Maybe $100 fix or rigged up or maybe 80 shop hours totaling 25k who the hell knows.
