Driving to Asda Sheffield
for no reason the cars engine just cut, not from me stalling, I was accelerating at the time no jerk reaction almost as though the petrol had just run out? still had a ¼ of a tank, my initial thoughts were the cam belt let got but since it cut out in middle of a roundabout I had to try turn it over, it started and drove fine....

the cars never done that before in the 4 and a half years of owning her

had a poke under the bonnet with
no signs of anything misbehaving or out of place,

could it be something daft? or the signs of something more sinister?

I'll look at the Crank sensor... would have thought a loose coil pack would just cause it to run on 3 cylinders?

Just Drive It

Well got to the bottom of it for anyone else experiencing these symptoms

mine turned out to be the stepper motor

the bolts at the back had worked there way loose and 1 had been lost so the seal was compromised all tightened up and appears to be well again

Thanks alot
