Hi,
just an update. I had the crank sensor changed for a new one, changed brake light switch too and the issue is still there.
I noticed that previously when it switched off when I cranked the engine the rpm needle did move but again it took a while to start up. I had to keep pumping the accelerator pedal.
I've noticed that the car cuts off when I'm driving at speed and i switch gears to neutral, the revs just drop. I was going downhill and thought I'd try it, was probably on about 3k rpm in 4th gear downhill, switched to neautral and the revs dropped and it cut off. The battery light came on, I put it back in 4th (while still going downhill) clutched out and started up again so it looks like it does bump start back straight away but it's only if I stop and try to start it normally it takes a while to start up again.
Again sorry for troubling you all this is getting annoying now.
Where should i start looking now? ruled out the crank sensor.
Thanks
