My 2000 1.4 Saxo started to stall at around 2000rpm any gear no mather. I leave the car fro some hours and whe i picke dit up it was OK again. A week later same problem, i drove it to my house without exceeding 2000rpm and that went OK. Changed the MAP sensor fior a new one no good. Today it will start but stops again after 3-5 sec and i hear the fuel pump running when it stalls:wall:
My next idea would be to remove the Fuel pump and check it... Any other suggestions. (I have had the ICV of and cleaned it due to poor idling earlier)

I tried the ECU reset (5 times ignition off) and the car has been running smoothly since i did that. I will have a look at the earthing as well just to make sure it is OK. :A:

was u ragging it before it did this, it might have gone into " limp" mode for engine protection some cars do this to stop you destroying shit.
