rockonvynil Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 The O2 sensor is a common fail part that would result in problems similar to what you describe. no it would not, engine will still run with it disconnected. ---------- Post added 14-08-2015 at 10:24 ---------- I can't see the EGR valve causing it to cut out. The car would run lumpy and maybe go into limp mode. I've seen some really badly blocked ones and all they've done is cause what feels like a misfire when accelerating. The egr valve can stick in the open position, if it does the engine will receive a full dose of exhaust gas all the time the engine is running.Years before egr valves were fitted the vauxhall chevette engine had a problem with the heat riser in the inlet manifold burning through and producing the very same result. ---------- Post added 14-08-2015 at 10:28 ---------- Hello each lets hope its not the timing belt(s) giving a warning of breaking. ludicrous comment best laugh today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
