car has been running ok all week failed twice but starts up ok and runs, so every thing must be connected

Sounds like it could be egr on its way out, starts off cutting out randomly now and again then over time gets worse, although this generally happens when your coming to a stop, need to clear the codes with any diagnostic tool that has that feature, drive the car for a few days and see if management light comes on and recheck 'stored' fault codes to see if any have been logged but not put the management light on. this will give you a clearer idea of what is going on.

cheers

MAF sensor. The next time it happens, disconnect the MAF, and see if the engine runs. This will put the EML on, but it will extinguish if you reconnect the MAF. The bad news is that a new MAF is quite a costly part.
