I have a 1992 Rover mini 1000 and it was starting up fine but was misfiring a little when running. I took the distributor out and cleaned it up as it was filthy and changed the distributer cap. Now i have it back in place the car seems to be turning over but will not start. It has worked since i put it back in but it would start and die very shortly after but with high revs it would keep going but when i took my foot off the accelerator it would cut out again. Now as i said it turns over but will not fire up at all. Any help would be much appreciated

If only that was the problem but all spark leads are in the right way
