Default s2 cutting out

Plse help

My turbo starts up every day even when cold on 1st go but when im 10 minutes+ into the journey the rev's die along with the car usually when i slow down, then it will not start again for about 20 minutes.

Ive had new leads, a new dizzy cap & rotor arm and recently a new fuel pump fitted but its still doing it so much so that im driving around in a shed at the mo

Any advise would be gratefully received as the bf wants to sell my 'beast' if its not sorted soon

Next time it cuts out turn it over and see if the fuel pump runs while cranking, if not thats a dead give away the sensor in the dizzy is playing up. I was going to suggest it anyway, very common on these, especially when they get hot.

As above check the dizzy itself.

My old gave up after a couple of weeks of messing around

Poo'd my pants when it cut out on the M1 had to bump it
to get it going.

Do you get any backfiring when you come on boost?

Does it feel hesitant at all?

Cheers matt.

It did backfire once after it cut out - I almost took cover didn't know where it came from at 1st.
Its only hesitant when it wants to cut out and its a job to keep it going
