Default my cosworth keeps cutting out!!

having afew issues with my 3dr basicly when engine ran up to temperatue and fans cut in the engine would die few ppl mentioned may be the fans etc well fans spin freely i also ran a seperate switch for the fans so could operate them myself thinking this would sort the problem but no it doesnt seem to be a fan issue!

could it be a fueling issue? maybe its running lean?? also could problem be fuel pump related? as this came with my car and have no idear on history of it or condition.Car will need a good proper set up to get everything running correct and safe but at moment can't even get bloody car to run long enough before it keeps cutting out

anyone got any suggestions on what the problem is!!

check the volts via the alternator if low this could cause engine to die if it's low on output!

Check your CO, especially if using a CONE FILTER ?
