Car is now cutting out at low revs.

The cps was replaced a few months ago.

Car cranks over and sometimes the engine light comes on.

It starts fine when the engine cools down slightly.

Used scanner but no error codes are comming up.

What else should be checked ? and does anyone else have the same problems ?

If so what did you do to resolve it ?

Could be any number of things. Did you replace the CPS with a genuine part?

Your DI could be on its way out (black direct injection unit situated above the spark plugs) or the throttle body. I replaced the throttle body due to a rough idle and cutting out which cured my problems, well, at least until the engine blew up!

Have you checked all your vacuum pipes?

Sounds like a DI problem looming.
You could do worse than talk to Alan or Simon at DCA.

They should also be able to supply you with a second-hand unit - only four star hex bolts (correct size in the tool-kit IIRC) and a connector so fairly straightforward.
HTH.

Hi Pewe and thanks for the reply.

My good local garage has found the cause to be the CPS again - so this has been replaced and the problem has gone away.


Im now off to source some mods for the car including exhaust etc :-)

Cheers
