Possible easy solution - - look to the right of the oil cap and see two small hoses (one leading into a quarter shape plastic part then into the larger hose and the other straight into the larger hose) - - - the larger hose sits on a male point near the fire wall and turns 90 degrees as it ascends and the other end of the larger hose goes into the engine near the oil cap (this point normally isnt the problem) it is the other end that unseats and cracks along the plastic parts of the hose along with the small hoses (which also crack) and causes the sputters/jerks/stalls. Carefully inspect these parts/hoses for hair line cracks, rotting etc... and most likely your whoas will end..

Hi if your car runs fine from cold and starts fine when cold, but then if it starts playing up when it gets to near running normal temp then this is a good indication that the oxygen sensor is up the shoot and will need replacing.
the reason it points towards this being the fault is that the oxygen sensor only starts to work when it reaches a certain temp so if your car runs fine when cold but plays up when hot or warm then the chances are getting the oxygen sensor (or lambda sensor for its proper name) changed should then solve your problem.

let me know how you get on or if you need further assistance ok

Golf GT Tdi 115 - performance when warm.

you dont say what miles the car has done.but you should now be using semi synthetic 20/50 oil and try using a fuel additive(redex/wynns)to clean the injectors.if you are using oil it is possible that the engine has lost some of its compression due to ring/valve wear.did you know that to convert your engine to a 130/150bhp unit,you only need to change the ecu try"diesel tuning"website.....

Vehicle Stall - Ford Focus X Reg

I will suggest some cheap areas to try first.
1.Wiring connections to your computer under the dash.
2.Check wiring to fuel pump.
3.Check black boxes under hood. They have relays and terminals may corrode.
4.Ignition switch, sometimes with heavy keychains the contacts can loosen.

Take it to Autozone or Oreillys for a free scan. When you say car cuts out, does anything work like lights, horn, radio? Please post symptoms and if anything has helped you.
