Renault Clio engine dies while driving

Car: Renault Clio
Variant: 1.2
Model Year: 1998
Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
At any time (engine warm or cold) while driving the engine can just stop and revs drop to zero. Happens suddenly with no warning. Electrics stay on and I can usually start the car up again by putting the throttle down while turning the key.
