Check the connection of the multipin connector for the fuel injection which is located under the inlet manifold. Long shot only.

Cuts out like the ignition's been cut, or do the revs just drop off until the engine can't run? Does it restart immediately? And then behave itself?
Happens occasionally, often or every time?
