Engine & Gearbox / Cutting out after a couple of minutes
Hi All , Spent a lot of time getting my Mk2 1.6 Driver (Auto) back on the road after nearly a year out
upon getting it sorted and mot'd i decided to whack 50 quid of the E5 fuel in (had probably about a tenners worth of normal stuff in) , since getting it back from mot ive driven it for about 10 miles if that where it conked out and wouldnt start again , it lost power whilst driving and came to a stop - since then it seems to start from stone cold but lasts a couple of minutes if that before it dies again where itll strike a couple more times but not fully start then it will just not turn over at all

Ive changed spark plugs , roter , dizzy cap , ignition coil , oil filter and oil change and new leads where it struck up straight away from cold then died within 2 minutes , changed the little in line fuel filter checked fuel is getting all the way up but im now stumped any help would be appreciated

Thanks
