   help!!!!! following on from fuel warning light post - no fuel wasnt the answer! whenever I'm sitting in traffic for a few mins and then pull away it kangaroos as the engine cuts in and out and then dies. It will re-start and doesnt seem temperature related - one minute its fine at 90 with the fan cutting in, later it dies at 77. has anyone heard of this / had a similar problem - thinking injectors clogged - any ideas?

	Could be any number of things to be honest. I take it your not getting any dash warnings ? I would see if you can determine if it's dropping 1 cylinder or both when it happens. If it's just 1 then plugs/plug caps/coil possibly. If it's both then tilt switch/ side stand switch both of which will cut the engine or a fuel supply issue like the pump or a sensor associated with the fueling such as pressure sensor. As it stands there are too many variables and you need to narrow the field a bit

	The fluid gets very hot. The higher temp rating the better but be careful as some race types absorb moisture really quickly. Needs Dot approval of some kind really. I use Brembo LCF600.
