when driving my espace the engine cuts out and i have to stop, when i switch the ignition off and then switch back on the problem clears for a while before the same happens again. this happened the last time when on a motorway and was a bit dodgy. the car is running well until the problem occurs. yesterday it happened 4 times in a 5 mile journey and then cleared itself. i took it back to the garage where i bought it and the diagnostic result was clear. they like me are stumped. any thoughts please ?
