Think Zocko means petrol or diesel year, model etc could be a clue when you say as if it runs out of petrol |

Hi Leashy I had a vitara jlx a few years ago with the same problem and after carb strip downs and god knows what else it was the immobilliser doing its own thing the words of the chap at my local garage £60 later sorted.
all the best with it. Micky Bruff |
