Default ERST cutting out randomly?????????????

Right guys,,,this is realy i hate to say it making me want to get rid of my rs Turbo now...
Every now and again,,,like 3 times in the last 3 weeks the car will cut out, does`nt matter if its been drove for 3 hours or 1 minute. When it does the plugs will not fire so i`m guessing its something on the eletrical side of things. I`v changed the dizzy and the same happened again. I can`t take it to an autoelectrician as its always fine after!...


......any idea`s what to try next chaps...would be greatly apreciated
