1.6 estate keeps cutting out?
« on: 15 October 2012, 22:25 »
Hi guys looking for some idea's

My cousin has a 1.6 estate, and it cuts out sometimes. This is not when he puts the clutch in, or stalling etc.
Last time it happened was @ 70 on the motorway, the dash stay illuminated, but you have to turn the key to start the engine again, like when you stall?

Cars throwing up no codes so looking for ideas?

Cheers!

fuel pump, injectors, plugs, coils/leads.

Cutting out would point to spark/fuel
