hi there i have a similar problem with my 2004 renault scenic.  I ahve had the AA out to us 3 times when it refused to start after cutting out and they said the diagnostic showed nothing!!!  I find it worse when the engine gets warm like after iddling or on a warm day.  Evetually a garage seemed to think it was the tdc sensor or the ignition coils.  It is going in for repair next week. Hope this helps
