Stalling and More!!

[cjvaldez]

Hello Everyone, I am new owner of a 93' RRC sport with 192k miles. I have only had the Rover for 3months and the labor of love already began. the first day i bought it the water pump went out. replaced. noticed it was still overheating and replaced the reservoir cap. problem solved. the latest problem is as follows and this is where I need some help. here it goes.

Symptom: RRC stalls at stops or at low speeds. and has a hard time getting started and sometimes it just wont starts, cranks but no go. this has happen twice where it turns off and wont restart both times the starter has gone out from 3-5 attempts to get it going. The RRC idle is mostly normal until it start dropping slowly an starts bouncing like it wants to recover and just dies out. engine sounds great on a normal idle cant tell its on.

Here what has been changed:
--New water pump
--New Thermostat
--New fuel filter
--Flushed engine
-- New AC delco oil filter
-- 15-40 oil
-- New starter which is now fried.

could this be an electrical issue?

-- I have read previous threads on stalling where it talks about cleaning the Flame return T, and cleaning the idle sensor on the side of the intake. I changed the oil and filter to the forums recommendation and it runs like new WHEN its running.

I am determine to find a solution for it, I really enjoy the RRC. I have the RAVE CD for reference. ALL help is appreciated thanks in advance

With 192k miles, I would change plugs (champion cheap ones) wires (good ones) possible fuel pump (check fuel pressure on the fuel rail). Clean the Flame trap and the T, clean the IAC and TPS.

If none of these fix your issue, then you may have a worn out CAM.
