Car cutting out and losing power

[f17th]

Heya Guys


Im looking for a bit of technical help.

My car has been cutting out randomly while driving along.

I drive a Ibiza Mk2 1999 2.0L 8V

I have taken peoples advice and done the following:

Replaced ECU Relay
Replace Fuel Relay
Cleaned Throttle Body
New Dizzy Cap
New Rotor Arm
New Plugs
New Leads
New Ignition Coil Pack

But the problem hasnt gone away and its very intermittant as it might not happen for days or weeks,

while driving along the road the car will just cut out at random, Sometime the car stalls or the Rev's will drop dramatically then bounce back up.

Each time this happens i notice a clicking noise coming from the steering column, Fuse box area.

Ill try and explain the sound.
if you turn the ignition on in the car (so all lights come on the dash)
Turn the key back to the off position but if you leave it there and listen about 5 - 10 seconds or so you will hear a little click.
Im imagining this could be an imobiliser cutting in or fuel pump being turned off or something like that.

But if anyone has any information that could help i would be most appreciative.


Thanks

Gav

Oh right cheers for the advice,

Is there any way to test the fuel pump or speed sensor for faults ?

Could it just be the filter clogged up with some dirt or something ?

cheers

yo I am having the exact same thing happening with my Ibiza 1.4L 2004. Lately it has been happening more but when I had it at the dealer for a week it never happened and they returned it to me because they didn't find any problems. Is there an update to this problem???

Hi you dont say if it happens in damp or dry weather or when the car is hot or cold as there are a number of things this could be. Sounds like some of you are spending quite a bit of wonger try to "guess" the problem
