Land Rover Repair: Rover LWB 93, distrubutor, coil wire


Question
My Rover will crank but not start. I recently had a new starter & coil installed so I'm very frustrated. Any clues for me?

Answer
If it cranks over, your next step is to find out if you've got any spark at the plugs.  Pull a plug wire and use a spark tester to see if there's spark there.  If not, follow it back.  Is there spark at the coil wire?  If not, is there a trigger and power at the coil?  If not, look to the distrubutor.

If spark is good, do you have fuel pressure?

One of those is probably missing.
