Helloo,
can anyone advise.
Engin cuts out but restarts after rest. New fuel and airfilter fitted, fuel tank checked and fuel lines to injector cleared but engine still cuts out.
Could fault be injector pump or electrics ???

First thing that comes to mind is good old "Relay 109" in the fascia fusebox. Change that first. Around a tenner.

How about more info? Whats the engine code, is it AFN or AHU ?

when did problem start? does it cut out just after starting or when coming off the power? under load ?
intermittent or always? etc etc

Hi, engine code is wvzzz70zwh091527 ab.
Problem started about two weeks ago....difficulty in starting sometimes, after a fairly smooth trip, it just cuts out and will start up after rest. It cuts out under throttle,
thanks,

Have a look on the black bar-code label on the cam-belt cover. Somewhere there may be the letters ABL - or a similar arrangement. If you haven't got one stamped 109 - what numbers are on the relays in the fascia fusebox?

Hi, trouble logging on for a while.

can't see abl anywhere but the numbers on the fascia are
top left

137 32
74 18 green
99 36 104.

sorry that I can't be more helpful,

Looks like you haven't got a 109. I can only ID about half of those numbers [and some of them aren't shown as being in the main fusebox?]

If one were fitted; it should be in the top row of the twelve relay positions, third from the left. Have you got anything in that socket? Your symptoms are totally consistant with a relay fault so it's odd that, apparently, there isn't one.

Hi, thanks for your reply I will check the socket,
and get back to you,
