ENGINE STARTS BUT RUNS FOR 8 TO 12 DIES WAIT 5 MINUTES START OVER GOES HAPPENS ALL THE TIME RUN STOP RUN STOP IDLES GREAT BUT WHEN YOU GO STARY AND STOP.
Hi. It would be useful to get a code read and some live data from a decent diagnostic tool. There are quite a few possible causes including, pressure in tank - if the fuel tank can't vent pressure then a vacuum will eventually form stopping fuel getting to the engine, this will cause it to loose power and stall. Then after a few mins the pressure will drop and the process start again, easy test is when the car stalls remove filler cap - if that's the fault there will be an audible hiss and the car will start up again.
part blocked exhaust will have same problems but will more generally cause a lack of power and acceleration.
are there other symptoms? i.e only when conering or only when pulling off or stopping, engine light on/off. Jon
