• Volkswagen Polo III (1994 - 1999) - 1998 1.6 Engine cuts out and will not start 10 Mar 2011 (Forum)

• BMW e36 318iS engine cutting out 11 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  have had a problem with an ECU controlled car. I have always been able to resolve problems on older cars, but feel somewhat at arms length without access to the failure codes out of the ECU.

  My zest has developed a starting fault---sometimes it wont!! Doesn't matter if it's hot or cold and if I leave it awhile it will usually go again. It let me down this weekend and while I had the bonnet up I heard a click from under the ecu plate. I think it was from the fuel injection relay

  was dubious but they said 99% sure. They changed them and still missing so they had to borrow a diagnostic machine from someone else, they said it was the ECU then, I was told it would be sent away and it would be £80, and then if I agree to the price of the repair that £80 would be refunded.
