Hi All

Please help

Been trying to solve a niggling problem with an XR2i 16V on an L plate, totally standard car.

The problem is the car decides it just wants to shut the engine down at any speed! this at 70 - 80 MPH isn't fun!
Othertimes it just won't start up cold or hot.

It just shuts off the engine! i'm suspicous of the fuel shut off switch as fitted to this car but is it a common problem? i believe its located in the passenger footwell but some direction would be gratefull.

Also are there any suggestions to simple alterations etc to improve this car? only the owner had an identical model before which always seems much quicker than this one!?

many thanks
