This is my first post so please bare with me.

AUDI 2.0 SE petrol 2001 98K miles

The car has various symptoms-

Symptom 1. I was doing 70 mph in the outside lane on a motorway when the car suddenly lost speed and the rev counter dipped to zero and then the engine started again a few moments later. The EPC dashboard light came on and stayed on, until after i had stopped and switched of the engine for approx 10 mins. This happened again and i noted that the car felt sluggish whilst accelerating.

Symptom 2. The following has happened a few times over the past week. When idling at lights or at a junction I go to move and realise the engine has cut out. I try to start it and it takes longer to start than usual, although it has always got going again. The EPC light comes on and the car seems to drive okay and the EPC light does not go until the engine has been switched off.

Has anyone any idea what could be causing the problems, I dont know much about cars and just need some ideas before i go to the garage.

Thanks
