Year of Manufacture *: 1998
Engine Size and Code *: 3.3 litre
( Optional ) Scanner Used: DRB III
Normally this vehicle runs well, but on an intermittent basis will run rough and stall with engine check light illuminated and security light flashing. Once it stalls, clicking noises coming from EGR valve and ASD relay, plus fuel pump relay. Also DRB III drops out with “no comms” message and then re-establishes connection. Checked pin 16 and 4/5 on 16 way diagnostic plug, ground seems to go high for a second or so (nothing conclusive). Also engine check light becomes fluttery as if a power failure / ground fault occurs
Following codes are logged but will clear, but once engine starts to run rough and stall, the same codes return. The vehicle will all of a sudden return to running well for no apparent reason.

Carried out wiggle test on all looms and fuse boxes, cleaned engine earths.
Checked ignition circuit to ecu (NBV) but not carried out amp draw
Checked ECU grounds and carried out volt drop test to battery ground
Drove the vehicle the other day for 20 miles without a glitch, now its even difficult to start
They say when approaching diagnostics, it is similar to landing an aircraft
You have to approach the runway at the right angle before you get anywhere
With this vehicle I seem to have lost the airfield. Help needed - any advice welcome
