Astra suddenly dieing..

[MrMoonyMan]

Evening all,

I've got a 97 Astra 1.4 Hi-torq that we've had in the family for ages and has been as reliable as a very reliable thing.

Yesterday it died on me for the first time ever and would not re start.

I coasted to a parking spot, left it 8 minutes and it fired up again perfectly.

Then, having driven around the corner it died again as I stopped at traffic lights.

This time it started up again on the first try. That happened again on the way home.

I then stopped at the shops, where upon it didn't start the first two times but did on the third.

Having never had any sort of issues with this 'run around' I'm thrown as where to start with what seems to be an intermittent problem.

Are these know for anything in particular like this?

Thanks in advance..

Thank you very much for your reply.

After further research I changed the ignition amplifier and all seems good so far!
