Possibly your coil pack failing under load.

You know the TPS when being installed back on the throttle body does it get pushed on or push then twisted around once or twice then screwed in, Sorry it's totally of subject do you know what I mean?

which engine? sounds more like a failing load sensing, either tps or map.
coil would be a misfire.

Agree with stevo67 had the same experience with my old saxo, had the bonnet up with it running and noticed i could actually see a spark in the coilpack every time i revved, mine was only a 1.1 i siliconed the little crack in the gel on the coilpack (temp fix worked a treat) until i got a new one a week later.

Thanks, engine has started to acationally stop firing then stsrts again before it dies and now the ecu doesn't show up on the dashboard and the pump doesn't prime does anyone have a clue to what it could be?
