rover 200 will turn over but not start?

Question

battery ok. petrol in tank . leads ok . rotary arm ok . dizzy cap ok . head gasket ok . work before with easy start for 2 days but back with same problem and easy start wont work ? any help.

Answer 1

Change fuel pump and maybe put some carb cleaner in the gas tank.

And dont use the easy start anymore. To much of that stuff can ruin a vehicle. They dont put that on the back of a can.

And sounds strange but check your cap to your antifreeze reservoir. If its bad it will make a vehicle start off and on until it goes completely bad then it will turn over but not start.

Or I do know from experience that if you have broken the plastic lead to the timing chain that the vehicle will turn over a few times before it wont start at all. If that happens usually your engine wont be getting any pressure in the head and gaskets, meaning you would have a bent valve.

Try what I said first before going into more expensive things. When you do that pump the accelerator at least 5 times then hold it down to the floor and start the vehicle. Should start right up.

Answer 2

Take the advice of a couple of previous people who have answered and throw away the easy start!! That said if it is not starting with easy start it does not sound like a fuel problem. Sounds more like a firing problem. Check all of your plugs and plug wires and see if you are getting fire to them.

Answer 3

Try changing your fuel filter, and air cleaner filters. Always start with the small stuff, and throw away the easy start. If this doesn't work make sure your plugs are firing.

Answer 4

Change the spark plug leads and the one from the coil they may be faulty
