   hi after some help .
   i have a 1999 saxo vtr .
   first problem is every now and then it will cut out whilst driving .if left for a while it will eventually restart but it takes alot of cranking it over.this only seems to happen when fuel level is below quater tank.
   second problem is for quite a while now it has had a fault code ,
   Injector 2+3 intermittent fault.i have replaced the injector wiring loom and checked some of the other wiring going to it but have not found anything .
   not sure if these could be linked but if anyone has any ideas please let me no.
   Cheers Jon

   When was it last serviced, could be a blocked fuel filter

   cheers for the reply. its serviced regulary and fuel filter has been changed a couple of times. this fault had been on and off for the last year. it cut out on me the other day twice , both times it failed to start and the battery went flat so had to get it jump started . it took a little bit to start but then ran ok .it only seems to cut out if it has less than quater of a tank of fuel. the injector code is there continuously though.
   really need help with sorting this.
   Cheers Jon

   seems to be running fine now apart from the fault code. do you think this could be the coil slowly breaking up as it has been like this for the past year.
   cheers Jon

   Your 1st problem i`d suspect a coil pack breaking down mate,causing the car too overfuel.

   I'd replace the injectors too, clearly something wrong if keep throwing up codes and having running problems
