I have a Rover 25 1.6 iL on 2001 no sign of head gasket gone,but hard to start,will bump start and some on key

Question

The K engine runs well,but a very slight miss at low speed and high,only 49000 miles on clock engine just turns over some of the time not firing, sometime when the engine is left over night it will fire up,and also some of the time it won,t it just turns without firing.Each time I ressect the immobiliser.Battery is OK. As I said there is no sign of the head gasket gone,not lacking any power.It will bump start and now and then will go off the key,this is a 16 val injection on a Y Reg 2001.Any advice what to do or look at would be a great help.Regards.John.
