I have a vts that randomly cuts out on its own and won't restart for a while, I have changed the tps icv lambda crank position sensor blue coolant temp sensor and map sensor, only thing left is coilpack and plugs, anyone got Amy ideas what else it could be, this is getting expensive?

Not the green one dude, I thought that one was for the dials, or am I mistaken?
Don't currently have access to diagnosis

Sorry forgot to mention, coilpack has now been changed for a new one, anyone got advice on plugs? Is it worth paying extra for iridium ones?

I had this problem too. I just ran a new live from the fuse box to the fuel pump. (blue wire)

There is power going to the fuel pump and it is flowing fuel, surely it can't be this?

when mine was on its way out, it made a horrible gurgle noise when it was priming, turn just the ignition on and listen see if it sounds ok, its just an idea.

Yeh it sounds like it usually does just average priming noise, getting sick of this car!
