There is some sort of K&N cone filter set on mine for some reason... do you think this could be helping the engine stall/cutout?

its possable...if you have an origonal unit at hand then fit it with a new panel filter and see if it makes a difference

ecu temp sensor....

are you sure your not guessing now?? :p

actually, somone else said temp sensor on my thread too so it may well be

this controls the temp gauge and sends a signal to the ecu for more fuel... ive fitted several over the years and is a common fault... :smiley:
