I'm having a bit of problems with my R reg felicia 1.3 LXi.

The engine keeps cutting out as i am driving, both at low speeds and high. The engine just cuts out as if no fuel is getting to it. Most of the time it restarts once i have pull over and stopped.

If your dealer has changed the wrong parts ask him to try again and suggest that you expect the money that you have already paid to go towards the cost of the proper repair.
