I have a strange problem in my 2.0 Ghibli with electronic ignition, it has been randomly cutting out.
When on the highway it will get going again after a few seconds and when stuck in traffic it will restart instantly on the starter.
It happens randomly usually after at least 30 minutes of driving, when the car is in normal operating temperature.
All gauges are in the correct operating range when this happens (temp, oil pressure, battery voltage)
When it does it on the highway (so engine still turning) there are no signs of an electrical fault, ie no dash lights, all electrics working properly and when it's not cutting out it has good power and smooth operation.
The fuel pump and filter are 2 years old, but the car has been sitting (albeit with a full tank of fuel) for the best part of the last year.
I have checked all earthing points, cleaned and swapped the relays in the engine bay and the battery is new.
Could this be sensor related in a way that would not trigger any dash lights, or should i start investigating the fuel system?
