may well be the temp sensor. When is it cutting out exactly, and does it happen after you any thing in particular (driving style, gears anything like that)?

Got it checked by my mate which is a mechanic, and wot we beleived it was the throttle body housing
As the diagnostic computer said.
I also have the bmc with the 90 degree bend so i clean the throttle body, and it seemed to work a treat.. so after all that its fine now
Thanks for the help anyway
