Sounds very much like an electrical problem of some
kind..............as if the fuel supply is blocked, there is no chance
of restart after a short time, without having cleared the blockage
first.

Not always. If the float valve is partially blocked it can allow a little
fuel to trickle through which in time will re fill the float chamber, but
not enough to run the engine, so when the bowl has emptied the engine
splutters and dies from fuel starvation.

That is somewhat like the problem I had on my Subaru Legacy Estate. Fuel
starvation.

Superb car but started to get expensive when things did eventually start to
go wrong. Would have had another, but the Subaru Dealership was not renewed
here on the Isle of WIGHT. One of my daughters' is on her third Subaru. A
Legacy Estate like mine to start with then a couple of Impreza's, she is
talking about getting another one

Anyone who takes a car to main dealer must be very wealthy, as this is
a very good way to get comprehensively seen to, and end up paying
through the nose for things you simply dont need!

All modern cars have a port into which you plug a cheap (£19) fault
code reader, and in many cases the code will indicate exactly what the
problem is. In most issues are to do with faulty pressure or
temperature sensors, which are not generally very costly, and can be
replaced easily by a home mechanic.

If you need to get work carried out professionally, try and find a
good independent garage, as in most cases the work will cost less than
half what a main dealer would charge, and will be done to a better
standard.
