About a few weeks ago my 2005 clio mk2 cut out for around a second when driving jerking the car, it happened a few more times after that over the next few days but disappeared.
One day on the way home from work it cut out waiting at a set of lights but luckily it started again, the next time it did that I was letting someone through a small gap in the road and it did the same but wouldn't start.
After getting it recovered home I pulled out a sparkplug and they were wet with fuel, plugged a ht lead in and tried to turn it over no spark. A quick Google later someone said the crankshaft sensor on the top of the gearbox was at fault I removed it cleaned it and it started up perfectly, also fixing my intermittent Rev counter fault too.
I ordered a new one anyway from the internet but the car drove perfectly for a week, then on my way home from the doctor's it jerked again so I fitted the new one and I left the car running for about 10 minutes and it's cut out again.
Any ideas on this fault I'm scared of driving it incase I block traffic at a set of lights or something, is it a common problem eg broken wire in the engine loom? I really need to get it sorted its my only car on the road at the moment.
It's a 1.2 8v if that's inportant.
