Re: Engine is cutting out.....
Is something getting hot and breaking contact causing ignition disconnect? When no power cools down and short disappears allowing a restart. Still thinking a relay?

Re: Engine is cutting out.....
So we have fuel. We have no known ECU faults.
Is the ECU area damp?
Have you checked all the earthing points for a good contact.
How good is the battery - is it charged/charging/holding its charge?
Is there plenty of copper grease everywhere
