Hi All,
Have looked at similar threads but still have problem. Runs great until the vehicle idled for a while like stuck in traffic then there is no power, pulling out from a junction is dangerous then as soon as been cruising for a short while everything back to normal. Just been serviced inc all filters, no codes or warning lights, no funny sounds, almost feels like lack of fuel or not breathing right. Any pointers would be great.
Thanks
Davie

Could be throttle position pot. I have an OBD reader that connects to an app on my phone. But its intermittent so you have to catch it doing it if there is no fault code.

Ok thanks for that, just seems weird that only does it after sitting stationary for a while almost like overheating and going into limp mode but temp gauge steady and fans work. Will look into your diagnosis, will get reader from my local garage and see if it reads anything whilst out on a run.
