George Lawrence Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Hi Everyone, I did post this problem a few weeks ago but got no responce. I hope someone may be able to help. When I was going at speed up a hill on the motorway I put my toe down to overtake a van. The glow lamp started flashing and a total loss of power. I managed to get onto the hard shoulder and realised the engine had actualy cut out. I re-started the car and everything was fine. We were away in cornwall last week and this happened 3 times on the way home on the A30. If anyone knows the area they will know the hills are steep. Sorry to waffle on but I thought more info is better than not enough. I have noticed on another couple of posts regarding glow lamp problems that limp home mode seems normal but mine just cuts out. When started again all is ok, If I take it easy up the hill no probs. I hope someone may be able to guide me in the right direction so I can get this sorted. Many Thanks George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef123 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 could be a sensor failing or it could be as simple as the fuel filter needing changed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mintalkin Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 a common cause for cutting out is a failing cam sensor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
