Sounds like your engine is about to blow up!

Sounds like your engines burning oil. hence why engine management is cutting your car out. Trying to save you breaking the engine. Get it down a garage before you do irreperable damage.
Have you checked the oil level? Sounds like piston rings or valve stem oil seals.

We had a similar problem with my g/fs VW Golf, we were told it'd cost us a new engine or a rebuild as it turned out I spent five pound eighty on two new oil pressure sensors and that solved the problem. The runs sweet as a nut now.

Have your engine management system checked over at a workshop.

Hi
YEp your engine management system seems like it needs a check - you will have to go to an overpriced dealer to have him plug you into his system - that shoeld tell you whats wrong.
