'04 Mondeo duratec cutting out

[Mikeyh]

Has anyone had any problems with these models cutting out while cruising along at open road speed?

The car in question is an '04 duratec wagon 2.0 auto.

It only really happens when your cruising at 80-100kph, the engine will cut a couple of times and you loose power. You have to pull over, the engine will still be idling no problem, leave it idling for a bit, and you are away again....

Sounds like a sensor is playing up ?

Any ideas?
