Erst cuts out

The problem is car starts from cold runs fine.
Go for a spin then after abot 10 minutes just dies, bloody thing.
Leave it for a minute then starts fine.
Would that be the fuel pump relay playing up!
Any help would be appreciated

Double check everything do do with fuel. Look for splits, leaks and anything not working.

Work from the fuel tank to the pump to the acumulator to filter to the metering unit to the injectors.

Exactly what I was thinking. With the hall sensor in the dizzy broken you won't get a spark AND the fuel pump won't turn over when cranking.

Both hall sensor (inside dizzy) and fuel pump relay are likely to break so take a look at both.

Good luck!
