quote: (pos fix=possible cause/cure) yeah i think it is down the back of the block, the little sensor that is on the inlet manifold works the temp gauge on the dash, the 'temp sensor 2' controls the fueling side. you should be able to replace it yourself if you can raise the car slightly and a new sensor should only be around 10 pound from vauxhall. hope you get it fixed:thumbs: | |

sounds like the coolent temp sensor to me. Same syptoms were found on my old 1.2. Should fine that the cutting out occurs once its warm | |

why dont you take it to a garage and get them to put the diagnostic machine on it and that will pin point the problem saves changing everything just for a wild guess that is the problem | |

pos fix, new temp sensor 2. this governs the 'choke' and when they fail they think its cold and pours fuel in! worth looking at | |

Are you saying that if one of the cylinders is not firing - that would flood the engine. | |

Help, the engine cuts out sometimes and I think it's flooding. |
