Engine Cuts out after 5 minutes!

[Rockinrod]

My 94 SSS has started cutting out after about 5 mins running.

It only does this from a cold start.
It starts again after being stopped for about 2 minutes and doesn't happen again.
It doesn't happen when starting if the engine is already hot.
If I stop after 4mins running before it cuts out and leave the car for several minutes it doesn't happen when I start it up again.
I have no immobiliser fitted.

thanks for any help.

your problem may be a bad electronic sensor.

It is reasonable to suspect that one of the
electronic sensors in this vehicle's fuel injection system has
gone bad. A bad sensor can throw the computer off in its
ability to calculate/regulate the amount of fuel the engine
gets. In particular, a sensor is possibly not sensing the cold
outside temperature and therefore the engine is not getting
the rich air/fuel mixture it must have to stay running (when
it's cold).

Take this vehicle to a reputable repair garage. The engine
will most likely have to be hooked up to an engine analyzer
which will then be used to determine if one of the sensors
is indeed faulty. Most garages charge around $40 - $70
for this analysis. In addition to this, there will of course be
the charges for the replacement of any sensor(s) which the
mechanic found to be faulty. In most cases though, it is
rarely more than one sensor which is the culprit.

hope this helps
