   Driving through some traffic lights, car decided to cut off and the battery light, engine managment light and oil light came on. Turned the ignition off, turned it on again and no problems, no problems since it happened 2 days ago.
   
   Any sugesstions why it cut off, it had plenty of fuel in there?
   
   ALSO, lately, when going at certain speeds the car decides to jutter for a a couple of seconds, for example,
   im going 50 in 5th and its juttering, i put it into 4th and its fine,
   when im doing 30 in 3rd, i put it into 2nd and its fine..
   Any ideas why its juttering/chugging.

   i am not really sure mate but, i would have though maybe just give it a good service and clean yours idle control valve by the inlet throtle and clean all the butter fly on it aswell, if no one does know im guessing you would have to go and get the ecu read for faulty codes (but my car was reving on its own and power like that and i clean the idle its was caped in carbon.)

   I have had very similar problems.
   
   Could be ICV <<< Very Easy to clean with Carb Cleaner (Im a novice with cars and did it no probs)
   
   Thats solved it for me

    TBH i had the exact same problem with mine, power would dip away at around 40-50mph randomly, only cut out twince in the month, would be ok for a day then play up again, i scanned my ecu at my work and came back as MAP sensor, i tested the sensor and decided to replace it and has been ok ever since
