Well I've been having problems with this van I've got it to run on tick over an will sit there forever ticking over but when I drive it, it could be anything between 5 miles to 50miles and red stop lights flash an cuts out but you can restart it straight away also it takes longer than it should to start but when it is started it sounds loveley any suggestions guys

Been to garage come up fuel pressure sensor that's been changed also hp fuel pump injectors also have been changed it takes a while to start but when it starts it runs nice sometimes cuts out with red stop light but will fire straight away an off you go again now if I leave it sat there ticking over and turn it off and then back on straight away it will fire up straight away with no struggle but say if it was running and I turned off and went in the shop and come back to it it will take long to start
