The car is now at an auto electrician. He believes there maybe a power surge somewhere behind the dash  :huh:

Sounds like a faulty FBR (have you replaced yours recently as I had loads of issues with a batch from ebay), I remember when my failed, loads of fuel out the back, wouldn't start unless foot was down to the floor and only then would it idle for a few secs at 6000rpm before cutting out.

Just an idea
