Recently the ol'Rover fails to start. Yesterday after driving 20 miles and stopping the Rover for about 15-20 minutes it failed to start. I thought at first it maybe a battery problem but, it seemed to crank just fine. Just would not fire.
So, I got a ride home to get some jumper cables (I know I should have them in the truck). Tried jumping it. At first nothing, then after a bit it seem to crank faster but no go. Finally, since it seemed like it wasn't getting fuel I pumped the gas pedal a few times. Then it finally fired up.?????? Got it home, turned it off. It restarted just fine. And this morning, cold, hard rain, it fired up just fine.
This has happened twice before that seemed to be a fuel problem, but it would start up after a short wait.
What could be the cause of this very random and only occasional problem. Where should I look first. I have not changed any of the plugs, coil, wires, fuel filter, or anything else since I got the Rover in March (except thermostat, and top leaking radiator hose). All fliuds have been changed and I am not out of gas.
Thanks in advance.
