Most probably you have a fault that comes and go. Try to find out wich fault code you have in the computer of the car. It is rather easy. You put a jump wire between E1 and TE1 in the diagnostic box. Then you turn on the ignition and start to count the flashes of the enginelight on the dashboard. When you have the faultcode you know where to start looking.

To clear fault codes you just pull the EFI fuse for some seconds.
