Hi there, was wondering if anyone has heard of this problem before, I have a vauxhall astra 1.6 sxi 16v, and all of a sudden it has been cutting out on the bypass or motorway, if I am driving at a constant speed on the bypass, i.E. 60mph the car judders then cuts out and wont start by the the key, it has to be bump started.
i dont even know where to start with it,
the car has just had a major service 3000 miles ago, including timing belt,
iv checked for fault codes and there are none,
i have also blocked off the egr valve with the modified gasket from vauxhall.
i dont understand what os happening, and would appriciate some help.

thanks you

mark :)

Start by testing the battery and alternator are good and also replace the CKP (crankshaft position) sensor

The ttery is brand new, and the charging voltage is sitting around 14 volts. Il try the cpk sensor and let you know how I get on
