I have a ford capri with a 2.8l V6 cologne engine. The ignition is Megajolt via an EDIS6 trigger. Fuel system is constant injection (k-jetronic). The problem is, is that after a period of driving the engine will lose power and cut out (generally 20-30 minutes driving). The engine will always restart but only for a few seconds. The longer i leave it before attempting a restart, the longer it will continue to run. If i wait, lets say and hour or so for the engine to return to 'stone cold' it will start and run perfectly for another 30mins. what might this be. cheers
ELECTRONIC FUEL CUT OFF MAYBE
The 3rd generation (2002 - 2005): The Engines were 4.0L Cologne V6 and 4.6L 16-valve Modular V8.
