19, the infamous 19

that will be the crank sensor and cause of your woes.

Change that, and the other may magically disappear

Get rid of 19 (which can cause engine to cut), then see what happens with 57...

o yeh i just remembered today i pulled the electrical conection off the idle controll valve and it stopped cutting out . that does not surprise me because if i sit with my foot on the gas  keeping it about 600-700 revs it wont cut out. so i fitted my mates i.c.v but it still cuts out leading me to beleve its not that.

Quite often when they fail, they go intermittent.  Dont be surprised if it fails again soon
