Astra 1.4 petrol intermittently cutting out



Hi I am hoping someone on here will be able to help me as I am pulling hair out with this problem :x

I have a Vauxhall Astra 1.4 Petrol Manual which is Intermittently Cutting Out and will not restart unless left for approximately 2 minutes.

This can happen whilst driving and when stationary.

I have replaced the Spark Plugs, HT leads, Distributor Cap, Rotor Arm, Temperature Sensor and Thermostat, all to no avail. :evil:

Any suggestions (Apart from scrapping lol) would be gratefully appreciated.[/b]
