well as some of you know i have been working away i came back to the uk last wednesday. i started the car no problem on thursday and friday drove with no problems

on sunday i drove it to tesco's filled up with normal fuel, and drove home all seemed fine. drove to work no problem.
Leaving work last night the car lost power and Engine managment light came on then stalled
it did restart but imidatly cut out again almost like the fuel pump wasnt allowing fuel in. it did this 3 times before i got out the car slighlty miffed. openedn the bonnet had look round dont ask why but seemed like a good idea at the time as i was on a road broken down lol (its the normal thing)

any way got back in the car turned the key hey presto it started no problems. so drove on my 1st thought now was pointing to the TTE Black box so i stamped on the accelerator and flew through the gears no problems even red lined a few times car still wouldnt cut out.

im thinking a bit of rubbish in the fuel tank what do you think .....

Hmm, have you tried reading the codes to see if there's anything stored ?

My first thoughts would be the black box or some sort of fuel problem too. Or I wonder if it could be a coil pack on the way out ?
