Yup, thats it sorted. No more cutting out problems. Runs sweet as a nut now, temperature rock steady just below half way. Puuurrrs like a kitten. So next come the mods..
Intercooler, fueling and ramair
Exhaust upgrade
2inch suspension lift
Bonnet scoop with small extractor fan
Auto trans cooler
Big mud plugger tyres
Job done.......................... one happy SOB.

What was it in the end? The air hose?

There is an electric solenoid or some such device that operates the vacum for a small butterfly valve in the throttle body. I think it may have something to do with shuting the engine down. Anyway this electric valve was playing up closing the butterfly. So swapped the valve out and hey presto !! its not all blanked off and the butterfly removed.
I did fix a split in the air hose and replace a cracked air temp sensor as well but they werent the actual problem.

Good work. Consider my hat taken off to you. Nice to see someone who know's what they're doing. That certainly doesn't apply to me, by the way.
