looks like ive got another fault/linked.

was accelerating on an A road earlier, and lost power. throttle was doing nothing. put the clutch in and started coasting, steering into the curb thinking it had died, stopped and the car was still idling. from there it drove fine using gentle throttle for the rest of the journey.

it did it again, clutch in, foot off the throttle, clutch out and back on and it drove fine again

any ideas? im thinking fuel pump Sad

Yeah sounds like it.

I would recommend putting all thi sin the one trhead though.
As people will jump in and not know about your other issues.

Tbh after reading both of your other threads I think

a) Your loom may have an issue somewhere
Cool the fuel pump is on its way out (Its a uber common one that)

Again I'd say it sounds like your fuel pump or something related.

Have you checked the pump relay on the back of the battery box, these always seem to end up cracked and can cause all sorts of funny issues if they get damp inside.
