Hi and welcome.

Fuel starvation? How much fuel is in the tank? In either case you really need to get it diagnosed for a fault code. It will be guess work without it. If you have breakdown cover with home start, they should be able to plug in and get any fault codes - when you do pop them up here and we can help you with the problem.

How's the fuel rail pressure?
I have various repair handbooks and wiring diagrams for C5 mk1, Xantia, XM, Berlingo and C3 mk1.
I have Lexia/Diagbox (Sweden) and Servicebox/sedre
