Cutting out
Hi
Got this real annoying problem, car cuts out totally at random
Most of my journeys are less than 20 miles.
Can happen at start or end of journey, or both on bad day.
Wet or dry seems to make no difference.
Almost always restarts if i turn key of then restart with key, only once have i managed to do a rolling start (bump start) and that was by dropping a gear and really pushing the engine.
Occasional cut out for split second then carries on. Its not what i would call a missfire, more like engine stops for split second.
Accelerating or cruising same problem
Furthest i have driven (over several journey) is 120 miles before it happened, shortest journey was 2 miles since the last one.
Parts replaced
All coilpacks and leads (old ones split and cracked)
Crank sensor, MAF, Fuel injection and ignition relays near battery
Battery seems ok
Has been on diagnostics but they say no faults logged
Really am running out of ideas, anybody got any idea what to check next
Also when the engine dies the tacho stays at engine speed ie does not drop straight to zero.
Thanks
