Vauxhall Astra cutting out at junction, roundabouts.

Car: Vauxhall Astra
Variant: auto, petrol, 1.6
Model Year: 2001

Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss

Had prob for about year now. Car cuts out at roundabouts and junctions, all engine management lights illuminate and car will not re start untill it has rested for about 20-30 min. Quite scary when sitting at major roundabouts with kids in car. Had EGR valve changed about year ago. This resolved the issue for about 6 month, then returned. No faults show on diagnostics machine. Mechanics are at a loss as to what it could be. (Have consulted quite a few). Car also pulls back and forth if go over 40 mph. Is this a common prob with vauxhall.

Many possible causes ,could be EGR valve again ,throttle body needing cleaned ,coil pack , plugs etc .etc .
