I've got a Vauxhall Astra 1.4 2002 and it recently has started cutting out when coasting or sometimes what seems like no reason when coming up to a junction. No juddering at all so no warning. The first I know about it is when I go to pull away and nothing happens then I see all lights on dash board on. Only happens when vehilce is first driven on a day so seems very strange! Worried the problem is going to get worse so does any one have any ideas as to what could be causing it? Thanks

Hi - my 2001 1.7 TDI 16V LS Astra keeps hesitating and then conking out, normally when its warmed up and on a decent length run. 5 mins with the key out of the ignition will normally get it going again. Thinking back, the revs used to go a bit wild occasionally as well though not so much recently.

Ive had the fuel pump ECU (at the back of the engine and pump) tested - no fault present apparently, and the vauxhall techs havent found the fault either.
Latest suspect is the main engine ECU (on top of the block) which has obviously been opened up in the past as its got lots of messey sealant, a slightly damaged connector block and was only held on by one bolt.
I'm planning on sending it off to be tested/rebuilt, but any ideas before I do that?
Cheers
