where is the getty up?

[James Fulcher]

Over the past few months I have noticed my 95 discovery loosing its power. When I push on the gas nothing really happens. The tach doesnt raise nor do I seem to go any faster. I have even noticed that I am loosing speed when going over bridges. It appears to be shifting normaly. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Where's the giddy up!

I have a 95 classic that had the same problem. I found with mine that when I touched the plug wires I could feel the current pulsating through the insulation. I'm sure this was giving me a diminished spark. Try new wires and plugs first. Mine didn't appear to be worn physically. I think they just broke down from the heat. I had full power afterwards.

My 1988 Range Rover did the same thing, and all my cats were clogged. Went from three to one. Mo betta now.

Check the throttle cable... They often losen up over time. The excess slack will make it seem under-powered. Turn the plastic adjuster until there is no slack, yet the throttle is still fully closed.

definitely check the throttle cable for any slack. on my 94 disco it made a huge difference. it never used to downshift and it felt really underpowered. after adjusting it it pulled nicely.
