   My VTS engine seems to just cut out randomly almost as if its stalling, it usually starts again fine but it happens at all different speeds.
   
   The revs just seem to drop right off and i lose power completely. anyone know what it could be?

   Hard to tell from limited description. I can have a look at it at the weekend if you want, dealt with many a running prob.
   Sounds like either a wiring/sensor issue, or an injector/fuel system issue.

   The second lambda doesn't affect fueling, it's just there to annoy you with a managment light if your cat starts to fail.
