HI, we have a 5ltr vs statesman that occassionally cuts out while driving and sometimes when on idle. the car just loses power. It takes around 15 - 20 minutes to start again.
we had the fuel pump changed and the igniton was loose so got that fixed.
its hard to test if its air, fuel or spark when the car is in order because the problems not there.
we had a 2 inch exhaust fitted and now the problem seems to be there, the o2 sensor has been tersted and is fine, i think the exhaust was just a coincidence.
my thoughts are the b.c.m or computer ?
has anyone else had similar problems and what did they find?
