my car (rover 214i Preg) won't start, the car would take a while to start and fire up and then when driving it would conk out but with the speed its going if over 30mph it would fire itself back up or i would have to turn the key back over to restart the car I checked the spark plugs they were ok then checked the disbutar cap that was arking and needed a new one put a new one on, but now the car wont start at all and there is a weak spark not sure what to do some one said it could be the immoboliser?
Thank you have recently found out it was my catalyick converter and needs an enging tunning test as keeps cutting out see what happens with that but been getting new parts for the car to help it run better like new air filters and thingsjust the performance will be better in the long run once its gone in for the engine tunning test but thakn you for your help

Don't look for other faults (immobilizer)yet,did you fit a new rotor arm when you put a new cap on,you should have as both parts burn out together,also did you fit cap on correctly it is easy to have it 180degres out,you can mess on for hours,I would have changed cap,rotor arm and leads and made sure the firing order was right,forget the immob for now if you are getting a spark I doubt it's that, I would think you wouldn't get a spark at all if it was on/dodgy,back to basics.
