Guest diggy Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 sounds like a over heating problem. check to see if the fan comes on when hot if it don't then possibly a fault with your thermostat or not enough cold air getting to your turbo. hope this helps a little Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobMk4TwinCarb Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Try running the car until it cuts out, then take the coil off and stick it in a bucket of cold water (not completely submersed) to cool it down, whack it back on and see if it will start. Either shows the coil as the problem or rules it out. If it's an EFi ignore my whole post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest XxpeteyxX Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 wen i had my xr3i efi mine used to do that n put new coil pack on it n it was fine might be diff wiv turbos but worth a try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
