Automotive Services Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Afternoon Require technical help on a Rover (ooooh....) 600 series fitted with the F18 engine. The car surges between 1500 and 1700rpm, there are no trouble codes stored and the cars drives fine elsewhere in the rev range. We have blanked the EGR valve but this hasmade no difference, the plugs etc ahve been replaced - again with no effect. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

CleanGSR Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I'm not sure why you are asking for help with a 600 series Rover on a Honda website. I'm not very familiar with Rover. Do they use honda engines or something? I highly doubt it but F18A3 sounds like a honda engine code (although not actually one I know of). You might have better luck on a website like www.club-rover.com or somwhere like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humphries Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 they bought the right kinda car though.. at least they didnt do all that stupid stuff to a ford escort! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Automotive Services Posted September 7, 2005 Author Share Posted September 7, 2005 No problem. Thanks anyways.... reason it was posted here was because its a Honda engine that Rover used, perhaps the engine code is changed by Rover. Not to worry, will try www.rover techhelp.china.com..... or wait a week untill it rusts away to nothing then I won't have to worry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackdelsol Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 it could be a timing issue or maybe carb/fuel (running lean/rich) problem. Iff youre still looking for advise. I would check all the filters too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeAndMyHonda Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I'd guess that you got a vacume leak in the intake area somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
