ah right. there is quite a few running faults they suffer from. but first thing I would try is removing throttle body and give it a good clean and see if that helps. oh does the car start up straight away after it cuts out???

was the throttle body replaced because of this problem? or did problem start after? and do you have to press throttle to restart car?

I replaced the throttle body after the problem started , no starts normally aftrwards.
It will idle at the moment for a little, but as soon as u press the accelerator and get to about 2000 revs it cuts and dips
