Change that relay but u need to find out if its a idle problem i would try hold the revs all the way up to opersting temputure to see if it cuts out with holding the revs if it dosent and then u let it idle and cuts out it would be worth checking the maf sensor theres a guide on here how to do it with a multimeter so u dont have to buy a new part and hope thats ur problem its in maintainence and then diy guides but change that relay

hall sender unit on dizzy.  if you hold the centre lead from dizzy close to earth (block)  turn igmition to pos 2 and off repeatedly if it sparks at all the sender has gone short circuit.

why does he need a fuel pump relay?
theres no spark. so its not a  fuelling issue?!

hall sender comes only on dizzys mate. best thing is to go to a scrappy get one and if it fixes it start saving for a new one...

Oh really???
right guys, had a play around with it today and after a few little fiddles, it started.....

i left it running and after 5/10minutes it just died. and wouldnt start again. Then after a few hours i had another go and it started again. 5/10 minutes later, it died again  :angry:

this makes me think its something to do with the engine warming up and cutting out or something along those lines?

BUT the fact that it can start and idle tells me that everything works i.e fuel pump, spark plugs and so on but something is causing it to cut out...

Extremely confusing and very stressful  :embarrassed:

fuel pump relay 167 seems to be clicking fine etc, But im getting fuel to come out on turnover so its not that, its definately electrical.

Ive been reading thousands of forums and the usual suspects that are turning up as far as im aware are:
-Oil Pressure Sensor
-Engine crank sensor
-MAF sensor
-Lambda sensor
-oxygen sensor
-hall sender

Any idea of anything to do with these?

Your missing the shorted hall sensor! They get warm go short circuit i have had many many cars over the years with these symptoms. Its not a fuelling issue.



Did you do the test i said with the main lead on dizzy?  Did it spark when turned to pos 2 and off?

If it did that is the hall sender its the only thing that gives that symptom.
