Hi guys I'm baff'd on my car. Story goes running fine, I go for a little drive as I over take a car it dies. Jus stop running with no signs as to why eg. No bangs smoke or anything jus cuts out.
I pull into a layby leave I t for a bit and arrange recovery, fortunately I had a spare fuel ecu with me swapped it over and it started. Jus as I lift my foot of the clutch it died and won't start since.
I've changed the fuel ecu and got a brand new pink relay.
It has no imobaliser on it
And it didn't sound like it was running strange eg on three.
I don't understand why it jus died its had a full hard core service the only thing still original is fuel pump and ignition coil. Everything else is new.
Help please guys

I mean to be honest it's a bit like saying how long a piece of string is as to what could be the cause,although whatever it is it's gonna be fine to repair,you know the engines ok etc as it still runs on idle.
Are there any tuners in your area?could save you in the long term,aren't harvey Gibbs in Peterborough way?thats not TOO far from you.

big air leak. its no coincidance that you were overtaking therefore at full boost when it lost power and wouldnt start. id guess it was a boost hose that may popped of. same happened to me after 30 mins of swearing under the bonnet i spotted the top hose resting aginst the ic.
