Hi chimaera 450, the car has a whoosh niose from rear near side (exactly like letting an air bed down) then engine cuts out.
The car will immediately start and run, any ideas what the problem could be please.

Try opening the fuel cap.

If the vent line to the carbon cannister is blocked your fuel tank may not be venting as Miniman says try removing the fuel filler and see if the problem goes

Just an update of the fault, air escaping sound and then car cutting out.
I removed the petrol filler cap, refitted then filled up with petrol.
I then removed the petrol cap again and fault as gone, so result.
Again thanks for the response to.my question.

You may find as the tank empties the problem may return, hopefully not!
