Hi y`all, 2001, 2.6 Omega estate auto petrol, (moggie auto est #5). I usually fill up at Tesco, normal unleaded, once in a blue moon I`ll treat her to some super, but dont usually have probs.
All can be fine, tootle up/down the motorway, absent mindedly, (due to everything feeling so smooth n quiet) let speed drift up to 90 ish, mph not k`s, and engine management light comes on, very short space of time theres what feels like a stall happening, pull off, stop, turn engine off, count to 3, turn engine on and drive the rest of the day without a problem keeping speed down to 70-80.
Pedal test fault codes show "random misfire, bank 1 or bank 2 misfire" but it feels much more like fuel starvation at the quoted high-ish revs (30-3100) and fairly high speed.
On a couple of occasions, due to a mixture of being broke and/or miles away from a gas/petrol station as some of our motorways inconveniently dont have gas/petrol stations I`ve run the range down to the 15 mile mark, low fuel warning flashing/screaming "feed me, feed me" lol.
Could I have some kind of obvious blockage, ?, the eml and "stall" for want of better words has happened once before at town speeds but most usually happens at high speed/revs.
Would swapping out the fuel lines/filter help ?
The problem happens with various amounts of fuel in the tank from brimmed down to 25%, 100 mile range full.
