Hi, i have a 08 petrol manual Skoda fabia, this morning on the way into work, my engine light came on and i lost power of my car and it had a big stutter. I pulled over, turned the engine off waited about a minute, turned it back on and the engine light had gone off and the engine felt smooth and it drove fine again.

 

Any explanation for this? is it something i should be seriously concerned about?

 

Thanks for your time and advice.

Not seriously concerned, but you need to check out whats up so you dont have this in a dangerous place.

 

So has the car got Servicing & Maintenance up to date, anything recent, Plugs, Coils, Filters including fuel filter, fuel in tank OK, enough in and not filled up yesterday.

Just go over whats what, battery terminals tight, earth OK etc etc

If you dont know the history then best get servicing done.
