G'day, newbie with a prob!

[Gambit]

leave the ISV upside down overnight in petrol or cellulose thinners. then you'll know its clean!

just unplug the blue temp sensor

leaving for 20mins is no use

the car needs to be rev'd to over 2.5k rpm 3 times before it will reset the ECU

Ive just had the same problem with my car. ?Was a combination of a sticky warm air flap and the choke playing up. Hope thats of some help!!

Hi,

I recently bought a mk2 16 valver and it does the same but it only does it when the engine is warm. The guy who owned it before me (i reckon) has taken out the thermostat as the fan doesn't work which means the engine never gets to full temp and the cutting out never happens, but if i'm stood in traffic and it gets warm (well ...hot!!) and as soon as i need to stop so does the engine!!!

Ta much for all the advice, it's appreciated, and if this works then you lot are the fountain of knowledge!
Chow for now
