1.6 8v running issue

[nath2905]

today i came across a problem which seems to be quiet serious,

i was travelling down the local A road at 70,
then all of a sudden the power went, no dash lights came on,
the engine was still running, i went down a gear then after about 30 seconds, all power came back....

so just thought i'd get it to a safe place and just make sure it ticked over or hadnt spat any hose's off, no sign of any of that... and it ticked over good

but before i got the the safe place it did the same thing 2 other times,

which obviously isnt good , as i cant take it on the motorway or A road if it going keep doing that all the way

any idea's would help?

no EML either
