My 6th gen se exec has developed a strange problem. Started about 4 weeks ago when at the end of our culdesac it appeared to stutter and stall. For several turnovers it would not fire and then it went OK. 2 days later it would not start on the drive so called AA who arrived shortly thereafter and after several attempts it fired and ran OK. He said I had flooded it although I did not agree, but was glad to be away again.
a week later I got 400 yards from home and again it missed 3/4 times and died. Again it turned over but would not fire. Called AA again and was told sorry but busy may be an hour and a half. Three quarters of an hour in I tried it and it fired up first time.
Cancelled the AA andtook it to garage who could find no fault, it was running normal. They put a cleaner in the petrol tank and it has run OK until today when 300 yards from my door she put put putted and died. Again it turned over for 5 minutes and would not fire.
Called the AA again who arrived 45 minutes later and it fired first time with nothing done!!
Drove 2 miles to garage and left it with no problem.
It seems to be starved of fuel or spark but comes and goes. Always happened when engine cold in morning and never far from leaving home. Has anyone had a similar problem ?
Difficult to ****yse when problem is not present.
