Thanks everyone for the suggestions re the fault...I am not unfamiliar with making motors run but I have followed up every possibility I feel...although have not changed injectors, petrol by the way Xtrail, have run cleaning stuff in fuel for before the problem, ensured all leads do not contact surfaces etc etc...I buy my fuel (Hyundai) where this car gets its fuel and I have no problems and fuel for each car is purchased on the same day..A log yes...just when you think it's the heat the problem appears in the morning..up a hill yes electrical but then we get it on the flat...spark plugs yes a new set...and all this is why I am turning to a device the subject of the thread...I will get one..pay my money and take my chances..I have an Xtrail for around here and I am very pleased with it but the problem vehicle belongs to my X and obviously she is very important to me so I really want to fix her car..I tried to give her mine but she likes her car and the colour so it is the one I need to fix.
It reminds me of a story of a guy with similar problems which turned out to be a plastic bag in the fuel tank...The chances of that happening??? But given the times I have now referenced that story in discussing this car I feel that it may be irony playing one of its cruel tricks...anyways one thing is for sure is that everything that can be replaced is getting replaced..she likes the car and does not want a new one...so.
Thanks everyone.
Alex
