hey there, my car dosen't cut out at junctions but the other day my car just died completly while driving, the engine just switched itself off, the recovary guy tried to start it but it wouldn't, as i was parked in the first lane of a dual carridgeway the recovary towed me to a safe place and told me to turn the engine and it started straight away. and have been driving it for few days

I was told to get a diagnostics check done, when i went to see fiat they siad that the test would be £40. so the best thing to do would be to try and speak to fiat and see wot they say.

Thanks PUNTO_86 will give that a try.

Could be a multitude of sins. From experience ignition coils, lambda sensor & ECU, ht leads and more are all candidates. When was it last major serviced?

Serviced about a year ago, the HT leads are ok the plugs are fine and the magnetos are fine. it fires very briefly but wont run constantly.

What and where are the Lambda sensors?

serviced a year ago, i would fit new plugs, new air filter, oil and oil filter and fuel filter now then,

Lambda sensor is in down pipe but that wontr stop it starting
