Driving home today & my 9-5 unexpectedly stalled at a junction & i couldn't
get it going at all. after a few minutes of repeatedly trying to start the
car, it did fire up, but i had to keep the revs up. the check engine light
came on & stayed on for the rest of my journey home.

the funny thing is, i've started it numerous times this evening without the
check engine lamp coming on but it struggles a bit at idle. it isn't
overheating, running out of fuel, drawing air into the fuel line, not
affected by the air con, the fuel pump is working ok & the problem is
intermittent. my only guess left is the fuel filter, but i can't find it to
have a look. any ideas where it is or what else the problem could be??

I don't think it is a good idea to use the car for other than driving it to
a garage. If it is the head gasket, it could make matters worse. It could
also be the DI or a loose sensor wire/plug.

Had the same problem with my 92 900s it was the fuel pump.It would run a
while then cut out then start up and do same.
