Hi Tony,
Thanks for the info. Strangely we were driving through the A14 roadworks on
Friday (not in Q), and I commented to my Wife that it would be a nightmare if a
car conked out in that section of road (single carriageway, concrete blocks
either side!). My Q peroblem, when it has occurred, has always seemed like a
fuel shortage (because it hasn't cut completely) giving a minimal misfire, but
about 3-500 rpm drop. As it's intermittent it's a job to track down, but is
very unnerving to drive. I think I'll have a look at the connectors as Jim has
suggested, but once I've identified the module I'll buy a new one anyway and
also probably fit it unless (or because) I find a visible issue with the
existing one. I'd like to be confident I've traced the problem item (without a
doubt) but it's so worrying to drive in that condition that I may have to
settle for just changing parts (and lots of them), and if the problem goes,
just accepting the result. I remember years ago an engine on dyno test when I
worked at Ford, and every part (one at a time) was changed for new ..... when
they were all changed it worked ok, so the last part to be changed was then
swapped back and it still worked ok, and every part was put back to original in
the end and it still worked. No part was identified categorically as the
culprit! Oh the joys of fiddling with cars.

Hi Martin,
I thought I would update on my 2+2 issue. It just stopped on
the A14,no hard shoulder...but the Police recovered me within 10 minutes. It
started again after they unhitched me and I trailered it home (it drove on and
off the trailer). I topped it up with petrol and was going out of my drive when
it stopped again (stopped so quickly it had to be electrical). I started to
look at it last week again after about 3 months of non-use (back and shoulder
injury). I charged battery and it started first time, left it running on the
drive and it stopped after about 5 minutes, no spark at plugs or coil (king
lead). It started again after about 20 minutes and then completely failed to
start.The coil seemed o.k. but ordered a new coil and ignition module
(Intermotor 15020). The ignition module fixed the problem, it came with silicon
to heat insulate it from the distributor. One thing to watch was it came with
"male" connectors on the module and needed the original "female to female"
adaptor to connect to the "male" connectors on the distributor. I managed to
get the module for about £25.The engine is 1.4 CVH, red top distributor.
Cheers
Tony

Thanks for the ideas.... keep them coming please! I need to resolve this
(as it's a pain to drive when it happens). Strangely on last year's trip to
Stoneleigh it was ok for the first 45 minutes when most of the time stuck at
10mph in (unusually heavy for Norwich) traffic with the temp gauge hovering
near red - it was only once I was moving faster (and temp gauge dropped) that
it gave the issue. It doesn't seem to have any set pattern, other than on the
way to Stoneleigh, but not on the way home!

Hi
If you still have the large 'pancake' filter, it could be vapour lock on
the fuel line as it is quite a nice little heat trap. I have changed to an K&N
filter, but I also wrapped the rubber hose in alumunium tape which seemed to
help.
