So a few months back my car started showing an engine management light so we changed the coil pack and spark plugs. Now after a few months the car has started showing the same engine light and the car starts losing power then turns off. But after a few minutes it works as normal. I just want to know is there anything wrong? My dad also says he has noticed the water getting empty in the coolant tank quicker. So just wanted an expert opinion on what I can do to check what I can do to solve this issue?

Hello,

We need to get the codes to see what comes up. but it sounds like the throttle bore needs to be serviced and the car is going into limp mode because of it. Here are two guides to help us fix the problem:
