i have a vauxhall vectra sri the engine cuts out when i change down into secound and first sometimes i can catch it before it cuts out when i'm in secound gear or i could be sitting in traffic in neutral and it will just cut out then i have to start the car again...the abs and the tc lights are on all the time and the speedo doesn't work....it's been to 3 different garages and gone on a diagnotics machines but the car can not be read by the diagnostic machine because the speedo isn't working.....please can anyone help....thanks
Sounds like the EMS (Engine Management System) could have a few hiccups in it somewhere, the inoperative speedo won't be helping things so needs repairing or replacing, as for the engine cutting out, i suggest having the camshaft sensor checked, as it seems to be a popular culprit for the engine cut-out problem.
