@Live to Ski we cleaned the throttle body as per your suggestion and things seem to be better - see update here! I'd love to hear your opinion if you have one.
Thanks, @Live to Ski! I'll start there, sounds easy/cheap enough.
Mine stalls (dies at idle) and fails to start (takes 2 or more cranks to get it to fire), plus the exhaust smells a lot of unburnt fuel so I'm not sure it's the same thing but cleaning the MAF sounds simple enough though.

Let me get her all cleaned up and take a proper picture for you.
Hi everyone! Wanted to introduce myself since I've been getting lots of useful information from this forum, and have a feeling I'll be getting even more in the near future. My wife, dogs, and I are in Colombia outfitting (drawer system/sleeping platform, rooftop rack and tent) our first Land...
