Default winter gremlins are here!! plz help-car is cutting out!

my car just cuts out, engine cuts out, then after a min or so it starts up fine and i can carry on! No performance losses or funny running, motor just stops, plugs look fine leads dont look that old, complete new dizzy on there, no hose leaks, its must be fueling as ingnition normally makes cars missfire and poor running! any suggestions? cheers guys

is it on idle? might have a air leak some where? spray carb clean over the boost hoses, vacum hoses and mainfold. if the engine revs up when you spray the hoses it will indicate a air leak. worth a try!

Sounds like the metering unit.

Take off the pipe from the turbo to the unit, and stick your finger inside, if its all gunked up with oily petrol smelling s**t, then ur unit needs to be refurbished or replaced.
