I've recently bought a 1998 reg 1.4 306 and since buying it I've found out that they are prone to running and idleing problems. My problem is slightly different, it idles and drives 100% however every now and then it will cut out completely. If i'm stopped at traffic lights for example most of the time it will sit the idleing fine but sometimes it will just cut out as if someone has turned the ignition off. It starts up again first turn of he key. It also does this during driving on the motorway etc. So far i've tried
- coil
- lambda sensor
- throttle potentiometer
- crank sensor
With no luck so far. Anybody got any ideas of what it might be?
306 cuts out

I've not put it on a diagnostic machine because I doubt it would come up with a fault as it doesn't run rough it just cuts out therefore the diagnostic machine would probably think the ignition has simply been turned off. I've disconnected the battery today in the hope that it will re-set the ecu settings. The scrap yard i'm getting the parts from just let me swap the parts so it's only cost me a tenner to try the different parts. I'll give the stepper motor a go.

A good and likely candidate is the double injection relay, the one that feeds the injectors and fuel pump.
Have a look at the instruments next time it cuts out. Do all the gauges fall to zero and the warning lights come on?
