Engine cutting out while driving
« on: 18 January 2009, 21:55:47 »
Started having this problem today.

Whilst driving the car it starts to cut out, this can be at any revs in any gear. It also does it while idling
It eventually goes to the point of stalling, and taking a long time to restart.

I'm going down the lines of doing the IACV and breather pipe clean tomorrow.
Is there anything else I should look out for?

The engine management light is NOT on

This is a 96 Omega 2.0 Auto

yes fuel trim 0170  -- could be anything too many parts to replace.

02 sensor replaced
MAF  replaced
vx cleaned ICV but i dont think they did it properly.
 could be crank sensor or fuel pump

Going to have a good look at it tomorrow, make sure everything is connected as it should be

IACV is being done anyway, as are the breathers

Think its time for the paper clip test
