My rover is a 214i L reg. It started jumping like it had a fuel blockage but it hasnt. Then it stopped working altogether.
We got it running it would sit and run for hours then when it was driven would loose all its revs and stall.
Now it wont start again.
it sometimes fires but not allways
Its had the ECU tested new crank shaft sensor,coil etc no one can work out whats wrong

REPLACE SPARK PLUG,PLUG LEADS ,DIZZY CAP AND DIZZY THAT SHOULD SORT IT X

MR ROVER, April 2007

I used to have one of these with the same type of problem. The garage I bought it from replaced the head gasket, injection system, ECU, and loads of other stuff, and it still did it.

In the end it was traced to low fuel delivery pressure. A faulty fuel pump. This was replaced, and all was well (for 2 years until the head cracked)

Some words of warning. NEVER use radweld in this engine. Always keep the right amount of antifreeze in the radiator. Flush the radiator at every service. Check your water level weekly. If the temperature gauge hits the red, stop.

Thes engines are great, but will overheat and cook very quickly, if you look after the cooling system, you will be fine.

Good Luck
