So Im driving my car back from work, it cuts out, fires up and runs for about 30 seconds to a minute then stops again.
after various fiddling about with disconnecting sensors etc, i think it is related to a fuel problem.
So this morning i bought a new filter, and it ran much better, it came out of limp mode, but the K Engine light was still on (has been on for a while)

Took the car for a good run, felt back to normal and ran brilliantly, until on the way home, i drove through a puddle and it cut straight out again.

The internet has giving a huge range of answers, such as ECU, fuel pump, cut off switch,FPR ....

Can anyone help?
cheers,
rob

we need the code.

start with basics, compression, fuel pressure and spark tests.
