Hi

It drives perfectly normal most of the time.Every now and then when i start and want to pull away the car just switches off,i then restart and it idles and revs up right till in the red but when i wunna pull away it does it again.I then have to wait for a long time sometimes for 24 hours then only it will it drive.Like i said it starts and idles normally it's just when i pull away does the engine die under my foot.Very frustrating.
