Fiat Panda engine cuts off

Car: Fiat Panda
Variant: 1.1 eco active
Model Year: 2010

Categories: Electrics, ECU, Warnings & Lights

while driving engine cuts off very briefly (split second), engine management light comes on and engine turns back on again and drives normally. I am worried whether this is going to get worse and what could be causing it. Any ideas please help.

So many possible causes , you are better getting a diagnostic scan carried out and this will show the fault code that is triggering the light .

Hope that,s not a car I am working on and not faulting,ha !never say never.Any way first thing would be to check for codes ,known faults are coil packs and head gaskets .
