I have a problem with my 1997 Rover 214, what could be wrong?

Hi, i have a 1997 Rover 214. It stalls when changing gear, what could be the problem? Would it cost much sort out? I hope someone out there can help me, many thanks!|||Does the car idle/tickover normally after you first start it up?


Is the brake pedal hard when you depress it? It could be a few things,but I would say the main cause is idle speed.It could even be that the cambelt has jumped a couple of teeth and has caused the timing to be out,but normally if this occurs you will suffer valve damage.Check the brake servo hose,and the distributor vacum advance and retard hose,small black pipe from distributor to inlet manifold.|||It might be the distributor.|||Well when you're changing gears one thing that happens is that your revs drop down as soon as you depress the clutch, so it could be something related to that, i.e. the engine idling speed is not enough or something wrong with the distributor or the spark plugs, etc. Should be too difficult and/or expensive to sort out.|||CLUTCH problem full stop. Replace with a new full clutch system and you will be fine.|||Sounds as if the idle mixture is too weak. If the car has a carburetter then it will need adjusting. The stalling will be nothing to do with the ignition unless you have a very bad misfire on one or more cylinders that the engine copes with at higher speeds.
