    Default Auto 4ac ae71 stalling and spluttering

    Car - ae71

    Motor - 4ac, auto

    Problem - when I first got the car I was told that it would randomly die but it didnt happen for a week or two until my missus said it died out of nowhere, she tried cranking it but it wouldnt start, then she waited half an hour and it started and drove fine like nothing even happened.
    But lately, as soon as she warms up after 5mins of driving she starts spluttering and then stalls and I have to roll to a stop but again, wait half an hour and off you go again.

    Iv been told its the fuel filter, fuel pressure reg or the thermostat?

    Anyone have this problem?
    Any info would be much appreciated!

    Thanks guys.

    check it isnt overheating and shutting down itself, my old pulsar used to do the same thing and we worked out that the thermo fans werent turning on so it over heated ans stalled. but once it cooled down a bit away she went like nothing happened

    Its got a clutch fan and good coolant so it might be a stuck closed thermostat?

    It splutters, but keeps reving right or does it just die?

    Check for spark, but sounds like fuel filter is clogged.
