09 hatch stutteref to a halt on dual carriageway
driving normally down dual carriageway the car suddenly lost power coughed and sputtered and when put foot on the throttle it just died
Got into a car park.
wondering what it might be any ideas?
Fuel pump? In tank pump is 10 years old but it has Bosch 044 and swill tank at the front
No check engine light codes come up yet
Try to start the car it fires up and then stops, doesn't like the throttle being pressed - stalls.
The only recent change is having to change the radiator a couple of days ago

Possible that the internal filter in the fuel tank is restricting flow to the swirl pot or indeed the internal tank pump has failed. There is no real service interval on them but I had one fail and kept chucking a lean code up when driving but I had no swirl pot at the time so hence the code.

Seems like a "global" engine issue - not a misfire on a single plug etc. hence my thoughts of fuel pump ( or MAF ? ) (( or losing air after MAF ?? ).
Also the FMIC pipework goes through the inner wing and that's where a silicone pipe is that looks to be tight on the hole edge - may have cut into silicon pipe and so losing air from system?
Fuel to swirl pot from tank seemed to flow and outlet of Bosch pump, when I popped off hose to check, but need to do it again and check.
Recovered home, tried to fire up in my garage, ran for a few seconds, badly, lumpy and rough, but would not take any throttle or call for torque ( stalled ).
No CEL codes thrown up yet.

Stupid, stupid, stupid...
So it looks like I put the T bar / jubilee clip on the silicone hose, AFTER the lip on the hard pipe for the FMIC, so as soon as it got boost, 24PSI, it blew off. Didn't look like it had blown off when I looked in the car park, but at home with a torch it was obvious!
Thanks for your help all!
