Engine cutting out / hesitating

[delb0y]

Hi Folks

Had this problem for a while now... thought it was maybe the air filter but after carrying out a service A and changing all the filters its still doing it from time to time ... foot down on the gas and there is a few seconds of nothing just flat and then it kicks in again its like engine isn’t get fuel.

I asked a friend and he suggested its a electronic problem something to do with the ECU as my fan belt snapped last year had to get that replaced aswell as the bearings and a new water pump but the red light on the dash is still on battery / alternator fault. Which I just left as the garage didn’t have the equipment to reset it... could this possibly be causing this problem?

Any advice greatly appreciated

How old is the air mass sensor?

Probably 3 years atleast I havn't had it changed since bought the car .. is that on the front driver side of under the bonnet? has a filter on the top if it?

Any advice on where this air mass sensor is located on the car?

Thanks

Hi, I think you take the airbox out and its at the top mid..

The sensor before the air filter.
