hi.
my trusty work car has developed a problem.randomly cutting out when driving.
if i dip the clutch while still rolling gear down and try to bump it it wont start, but if i dip clutch when still rolling and start with key, it will start.?

could this be some sort of sensor?

car is a mondeo 1.8 endura de

loads of fuel in tank ,,water,, oil etc all topped up.
thanks nick

I came across a problem like this on another car problem page ages ago, i could be talking out of my watsit but it was down to a bad earth somewhere, dipping the clutch would allow the engine to earth through the clutch cable, take the pressure of the cable and the car would lose its earth.

have you checked for air leaks, split breather pipes?

i havnt checked for air leeks just yet , i not sure on the earth via clutch cable as it does it whilst driving,it cuts out as though someone has turned the key off as quick as that no stuttering just streight off,
