Engine cut out..................
#1
Last night I set off from the house with a cold engine.
As usual I was pottering around at <3000rpm until the engine had warmed up. After about 1.5 miles the engine just cut out and wouldn't start. I left it for about 1 minute, turned the key and it burst into life, with no signs of problems (i.e no smoke, bad running etc etc).
Any idea what could cause this?
Could it have been just a one off?
I was using my mobile phone at the time (on hands free I hasten to add!) and I was wondering if it was possible it could have interfered with the ECU/engine?
Any thoughts chaps?
Thanks in anticipation.
Forgot to add that the Engine Check light did not light up during this incident.
