Title: Intermittant cutting out
Post by: moggy on 15 August 2013, 19:05:02

Hi all and hello from sunny hartlepool(not) ;D.I moved hear one month ago,so i dont know anyone,and its a long way to come for any OOF mechanics.So its DIY,i have an intermittant cutting out problem.It only happens when its wet/raining or damp,and only when the engine is cold.No warning lights are on,it just cuts straight out.Sometimes happens a couple of times until up to temp.Can any of you give me some idea where to start,PS sorry i have not been on as much as i used to.Due to the move and all that,any advice appreciated.Dean :) :y

If it cuts out at tick over, ie off the throttle, clean icv.

If it cuts out on the throttle, ie not at tick over, suspect crank sensor.
