return to the tank swirl pot, where a venturi
causes the returning fuel to draw cool fuel
from the tank into the swirl pot. In the event of
sudden deceleration (ie: an accident) an
inertia switch cuts off the power to the pump
so that the risk of fire is minimised from fuel
spraying out of broken fuel lines under
pressure.
The air metering system includes the intake
air temperature control system and the air
cleaner, but the main components are in the
throttle body assembly. This incorporates the...

3Check the condition of the throttle housing
seal and the intake duct O-ring (where fitted).
Renew either if worn or damaged.
4To remove the metal intake duct, refer to
Section 4, paragraphs 3 and 4.
5To remove the air intake hose it will first be
necessary to remove the left-hand headlamp
assembly, to gain access to the two retaining
screws. Remove the two retaining screws and
disconnect the duct from the body front
panel, release the clip securing the ignition HT
lead, then slacken the retaining clamp...

prevent any undue strain being placed on the
fuel pipe (see illustration).
8Once all pressure has been relieved,
remove the bolt and inspect the sealing
washer for signs of wear or damage and
renew if necessary. 
9Refit the bolt and washer to the fuel pipe
and tighten it to the specified torque wrench
setting whilst using a spanner to counter-hold
the pipe boss, to prevent the pipe or filter
being damaged.
7 Fuel system- pressure check
1The following procedure is based on the
use of the Rover pressure...

(Chapter 12) and prior to tightening the cable
locknuts, adjust the cable as follows.
Adjustment
7With the pedal fully released, check that
there is equal clearance on each side of the
throttle lever at the lost motion link (see
illustration)and no slack in the cable. Have
an assistant fully depress the pedal and check
that the throttle cam opens fully, then check
that it returns to the at-rest position when
released.
8To adjust the cable, switch on the ignition
and position the stepper motor by moving...

which is a time consuming operation that
carries a high risk of damaging the ECU.
3If necessary, the system wiring and wiring
connectors can be checked as described in
Chapter 12. Ensure that the ECU wiring
connectors have first been disconnected.

assembly.
Refitting
14Refitting is the reverse of the removal
procedure. Ensure that the throttle housing
and motor mating surfaces are clean and on
completion, adjust the throttle cable to ensure
that the stepper motor is correctly indexed.

Removal
15Although not strictly necessary, access is
greatly improved if the air cleaner assembly is
first removed.16Disconnect the battery negative lead.

(see illustration).
29Release the wire clip and disconnect the
sensor wiring.
30Unscrew the sensor and remove it from
the air cleaner housing.
Refitting
31Refitting is the reverse of the removal
procedure. Tighten the sensor to its specified
torque wrench setting.

4Slacken and remove the brake vacuum
servo unit hose union bolt and disconnect the
hose (see illustration). Discard the hose
union sealing washers which must be
renewed whenever they are disturbed.
