Engine cuts out

[moncada]

Hello, Guys im looking for some help, it started out with the car not starting when the engine is hot , say 20 mins driving (98 1l opel corsa 57000 mls)but now the engine cuts out under braking and wont restart until it cools down 20-30 mins, I replaced the lambda sensor today and it made no difference, I could really do with some advice on a diagnosis, unfortunately i am living on the west coast of Ireland and good mechanics are few and far between so any help would be greatly welcomed.
Thanking you
Moncada

How dare you sir I consider myself a very good mechanic

Does the eml come on at any time? When was it last serviced? Does it splutter or cough before cutting out or is it just a straight dead?

[moncada]

A thousand apologies Sir, I had a full service about 2.5k ago, no lights come on until it stops, when its running its grand, haha its all good until it goes wrong, it gives a cough ok when driving

Ah Donegal, im in Clare, i should have said the Wheest Coast

[johnny]

Maybe try a new coolant temp sensor, failing that try a crankshaft sensor, both explain the symptoms and don't throw a code

There both cheap sensors anyway so worth a punt

Haha funny guy

[moncada]

so ive been told that i might get away with cleaning an air flow sensor ? I havent a clue really, if i hadnt inherited the car id leave it, but over the last 9 months or so its grown on me

[johnny]

The air flow meter will throw a code though, and they generally don't cause a car to cut out, just run rough

I would say it's your coolant temp sensor
