not earth, thats fine, plugs and leads fine too also oil level and coolant level fine it happened once the car had got warm then started once the car had cooled down it seemed

but when the aa chap came he checked everything  couldn't find any faults took a ht lead off to check for spark and the car started fine but wouldn't before he checked for a spark, its really weird

try cleaning your throttle body and all breather pipes. as mentioned before try checking your relays as well.
