keeps cutting out? I have noticed this recently when i am stopped at Traffic lights or islands. When i accelerate the car jugs slightly before starting or just completely cuts out. I then have to restart the engine and this can happen 30 mins in to my journey so i know the engine is not cold. I have a choke which i always have to put on when i start the car in the morning and sometimes it cuts out then too.
Any idea's please - genuine answers only please and no calling the car... its a beauty
Its probably been a while since it had new spark plugs etc if any, before i got it last year it was sat in a garage for about 10 years. To give an idea on previous use - on the MOT papers, 1 year it only did 14 miles... bizarre i know but an elderly lady owned it before and hardly ever drove it. Will get it booked in for a service pretty sharpish then :) Thanks to all that have responded so far
