hiya
yeah could be filter/ pump, is it dying when braking and do you have a dump valve as had a few probs with the cheapo ones on peoples cars
also the oneway valve on the inlet to servo has been knacked and caused stalling when stopping
or an airleak
only trying to help

Thanks for info people. Im pretty sure its fuel issue and the feul pump starts making noises and then. ok she cuts. Last time it done it today was while driving in 3rd about 25mph.

pump started buzzing then boom. then takes few about 5 secs of cranking to fire back up.

Exactly Karlos

It will idle fine all day long just when driving. like I said at first it was only after giving it a boot full and stoping at a juntion. now it just randomly start gurgaling and buzzing loads den cuts out.



I will clean conections on pump 2moz and put a filter on it. see what happens.
