My 1995 fiesta 1.1 occasionaly cuts out and will not restart.Has to be towed home.Car will start next day and run normally for a few weeks and then cuts out again.Have checked spark and fuel feed - both ok. Any ideas?

my 1994 fiesta 1.1lx also cuts out like this from time to time. AA said that it could be the 'fuel pump relay' or 'crank sensor' as it will start in 10-15mins time. Mine also turns but doesn't fire. but my problem is getting worse. Have you checked these?

Possible excess crank case pressure? try for blocked breather, breather not venting. What engine has it got? You say it wont retart, do you mean the engine turns and doesnt fire, or is it totally dead? Does it gradually die when youre driving or just cut out instanly? have you had the timing done/ gintition parts checked (dizzy cap, rotor, leads). Also check engine earth lead. Let me know how you get on
