2.0L Auto Cutting out?
« on: 18 January 2012, 23:18:07 »
2.0L auto estate. I took this out on Sunday for a good run as it had been stood since before Christmas, no problems ran like a dream. swmbo has been using it a little this week and on odd occasion it has cut out, but restarted with no problems....... I had wrongly assumed that this was at a junction, but no it can just stop when going along happily, tis a 98 model so can not put my code reader on it.  EML only comes on as it stops, does not stay on and otherwise running well. I have not looked at it and will not till the weekend........any pointers? I have no intention of spending much money on it, though a very clean car, and currently cautiously looking for a replacement, if necessary..........any initial thoughts?

IME:
Camshaft sensor, and/or Idle control valve - the latter usually due to restricted/blocked breathers/'amateur servicing' ;)

Sure not on overrun when the auto disconnects itself under certain conditions?

If its cam sensor, that will *ALWAYS* store a P0340 or 94 (depending on age).  For a 4 pot to die, both the cam and crank sensor must be problematic. Thus, I'm tending to shy away from that...

I would suggest breathers and throttle body as a first point of call.
