Its not an uncommon failure on the B3/B4 platform cars - its the big switch behind where your key engages. COuple of dicky contacts there causes intermittent cutouts.

Have you checked that your engine earths are OK ? There is one comes off the coilpacks and screws onto cylinder head - I've seen that loosen on a couple of cars and give misfires. Tis a brown wire with a big eyelet connector.

The other thing you *might* have is a some faulty engine speed/reference sensors - be interesting to know if your ECU is storing any faults for that.

As for pulling codes, you can't beat this for the money...

I have one and pulled the codes in under 10 minutes on my first go!

Mines not done it yet, had plenty of customers cars with the fault. the switch design is so old, "70s!
think how many times it goes on and off!

Did the fault occur before the shunt? If not then it could be the emergency fuel pump cut-off switch.
