Had this problem a few times now.
Was driving down a dual carriageway, then all of a sudden would get a loss of power (as if i were braking) and the engine warning light flashes, along with juddering etc.
Took it to the garage and had the coils and sparks replaced, but after a week (90 odd miles) its done it again.
Any idea as to what exactly may be the problem?

I have a sneaky feeling it's injector related, so I may dive into fixing that, but please do keep me updated if the map sensor change does fix the problem for you!

I had an erratic misfire, picked up the correct code with a Bluetooth OBD sensor I bought for a fiver, and it turned out to be one faulty injector. The one below the squirter. Which, after research on here, seemed to be #common#.

Awesome thanks for the info! I bought a Redex injector cleaner last week and it seems to have solved it for now, fingers crossed it doesn't do it again

get the codes read. Having a guess and changing parts, especially if you are a relative novice at diagnostics, and hoping you have guessed right is quickly very expensive and time consuming.
