   Alright guys
   
   Cars been cutting out quite about lately. Just suddenly idles abut lumpy then cuts out only when in neutral.
   
   So far I have cleaned these sensors:
   Map
   Ice
   Temp
   Tps
   
   Checked hoses re seled tight etc
   
   Reset Battery
   
   Oils fine temp usually fine coolant also fine
   
   Think it usually happens when the car is warm and the temp fan kicks in or idling for a while
   
   Headgasket hasn't gone and was replaced 6 months ago along with Campbell etc
   
   Have a feeling maybe a temp sensor is on the way out don't think it could be coil pack as its not lumpy enough.
   
   Any ideas suggestions thanks in advance
   
   Chris

   Have you tried cleaning/replacing the icv? I had a faulty one that would cut out the car on idle.

   sounds like how mine went. Cleaned out the icv and that didnt cure it. Bought a new one and it seems to have solved the problem, touch wood

   Maybe did have a head gasket go not long ago which caused the engine to get hot. Although this coil pack is not too old around 2 years bought new from citroen.
