The car has fixed itself. Just started up and drove to work and back. Can the injectors have an intermittant fault, or do they work or not?

i doubt all 4 injectors have the same fault!!

I wouldnt be trusting that car until it breaks down again and you find the reason for it cutting out

Started the car this morning and it just died on the drive. Went to restart it, as it was priming, the pump was switching on and off. Not sure if it has a relay, as there are 2 wires that go from a relay holder into the loom in the engine bay.
