i dont kno if any of u lot have had this problem but today i was driving my car home from work at 5am and was driving normally at 70mph and the engine lost all power and started to slow down like i just let go of the throttle, i tired reving it but nothing happened, it was just like reving in netural but without the revs sound, i stoped on the side of the road and turned the engine off, then tired to start it up again and my battery was dead, i took it to a garage to test the battery and the alternator and they were both fine but on the eml327 it says that i have 2 faults which are fuel pump primary curcuit and throttle sensor/b switch
