Is the car cutting out and then letting you restart or is it dead once its cut out?
Did the problem suddenly start or has it been working its way in over time?
What mileage is your car?
What stage of tune are you at?
It has been suggested it is a fuelling issue which would make sense but I'm no mechanic :/
It doesn't start at all, just turns over until it drains the presumably weak battery :/ when trying to bump start it down the steep hill I live on, it brings on the PAS and power braking but sits at 800rpm and there is nothing from the accelerator :/
It happened literally between me going into work and coming out, car had been driving fine before that although sometimes it clicked when turning the key and took a few times to get it to turn over but it always started first time after that, faulty starter motor?
162k miles running standard power, only mod is decat/debackbox
Thanks
