your probably right as i spent a good hour in traffic today with the fan cutting in and out and had no problems.
I really dont know what triggers it :boggle: it seems to happen completly randomly the only thing in common is that every time it happens its when you are going to pull away. Its like you have stalled but it just cuts out with no juddering or anything.
It then wont restart for a short while and will die unless you keep reving it for a short while afterwards.
so im stumped :|

slight update.
its happend a couple more times this week. seems to be happening in traffic etc.
so i am also thinking that it could now be an over heating problem. As if you leave it a little bit then start it and give it a few revs its fine :boggle:
no em lights or anything though :o

ive put some injector cleaner into a full tank of petrol and brought some of the carb cleaner to spray into the intake etc. so i will see what happens :)

no em light.
it drove fine all day today :boggle:
but i think it may be a fueling problem some im going to go to halfrauds to get some injection cleaner to put in the tank and il see how it goes :)
not sure if it may be over fueling as well as it pops and bangs on over run and it never used too :o

managed to cause a bit of a seen by having my car cut out and not restart whilst sitting in traffic on the A13 this evening :o
ending up having to push the f'ing thing from the outside lane and up the biggest kurb known to man :o (scratching a wheel and almost removing my splitter in the process :mad: )
anyway it started up fine in the car park at work and i drove for about 10 mins till i hit the traffic. it then cut out when i went to edge forward. I thought i had stalled but it would not restart.
Left it for a while and it started but then kept dieing when you didnt rev it as it couldnt keep an idle.
then after about 10 mins faffing trying to find my rac membership number i gave it a final try and it seemed fine and was so the rest of the journey :boggle:
just wondering what i could check this eveing to make sure its ok tomoro
only things i could think of would be the plugs and fuel filter
any suggestion mucho apriciated :wave:
