I've noticed recently that the car sometimes cut's out, usually it's when I'm driving it hard and I throw it into a corner. When it happens I just lift off the throttle and then plant it again and all is well, what do we think?, fuel pump?...

Plenty of fuel in it, it's had a new fuel filter and the injectors cleaned out, so I suppose the only thing left is the pump isn't it?, it has been a little noisey at times.

You didn't mention that,matey. Should only ever hear the pump when it pressures up with the ignition so that's where I'd be looking...

Agree, could well be the fuel pump, sounds more like fuel starvation than say an ingintion fault.

Is it standard tune?
