The engine ( 463- 300e) has developed a rather strange behaviour recently. Whereas  the engine will fire almost immediately from cold  and will idle happily,  driving after a couple of miles, it will switch off  on its own accord. But then,  it will restart immediately upon turning the ignition switch and  will drive again normally until this problem repeats itself. This will,happen a couple of times, and after that  the car will drive normally for the rest of the  trip.

Any ideas of what is the culprit ???

Fuel filter??, loose connection?? faulty fuel pump relay???

Battery and earth cable are tight.

Thanks
