Strange One.
Travelled back from Birmingham with no signs of any problems on the way up but on the way back as I came to a stop at a roundabout the car cut out.
It started again and a few miles down the road I pulled over and turned the key off and started the car again, this time it started but idled like it was missing and no response from the throttle.
After 2 mins of trying the car came back to life and lasted all the way home without a problem. This morning started it up and it turned over but failed to start, after a few turns it kicked into life and again didnt feel right but after 3 mins it idled and drove like normal.
I'm thinking its a fuel problem myself and checked if I could hear the pump going and it was, could the fuel filter cause this problem or perhapse the pump?
Dont have a reader to look for a code.
Any help!
Regards
