Ah, that's good info, probably useful to some of the diagnosticians here.


The engine stops running because it's losing spark, getting wrong
amount of fuel, or getting wrong amount of air.  If the problem is
with the ignition you can put the fuel system through the wringer and
do no good.


You forgot to say 1.9l or 2.1l - it makes a difference at this
point.  We can take it up later from there, I'm off to see the
wizard, I mean dentist.  Then perhaps I'll get drunk... :-/


Yours,
David
