I have a 1999 Seicento Sporting 1.1 which runs really well and idles steadily. However, every so often it will simply cut-out whilst idling in traffic; no warning, the engine just dies. It then has to be left for a few minutes before it will re-start, and will then run as if nothing had happened.

I have changed battery (it needed one), plugs, leads and sprayed liberally with WD40. My next step will be to replace the coil pack this weekend.

Any other suggestions after that ? :bang:
 
Idle control valve may need sorting HOWEVER i used to get this at traffic lights also, random stalling and then fine, it tended to happen more when car wasnt warmed up. It was instantly fine and fired up straight away and didnt take a few mins.

Before changing anything, and its unlikely to be a coil pack, there are two and it is unlikely they would both fail together and then both repair themselves together, find out what has stopped happening when it stops. Is it fuel or electrical related.
