We have a little to go on there, Jurgens. Could you describe what happens when the car stops working while driving?

Does it also take a while to start in the morning?

backfire would suggest over fuelling? AFM, injectors leaking, blue temp sender. All of the above?!

check the multiplug under the inlet manifold, peel the rubber boots back on both halfs of the plug and check for corrosion/breaks in the wires
