Another in the never ending stream of issues...

When driving along, you can occasionly feel the engine stutter and try to cut out - can't be helping the poor engine mounts either! An italian tune up normally fixes things.

If I'm stationary, then it will just completely cut out. The only way to get it going again is with a bump start! I've tried the old imob on/off thing but that doesnt help

This car has a history of weeping rocker cover gaskets and recently has been consuming a fair chunk of oil - could this be related?

I had some other electrical issues recently - which cause the ecu not to retain power, so the imob came on. This was all fixed (I hope) by cleaning and redoing all the earths - so I hope it's not that.

check your dizzi cap is on correctly, mine was sat about 1mm out once and it caused it to misfire, a lot more once up to temp
