What would cause my VW golf to cut out whist driving
sounds like your alternator..
If you mean 'cut off' as in the car dies while driving its probably your alternator.
why does it matter if you're driving down a hill? At least it didn't cut off when you were driving up a hill? And I don't know why it would cut off I'm 13.
main fuel relay going bad. Eventually car will cut off while driving.
One reason a 1998 Cadillac Deville would cut off while driving could be the fuel pump or the car is out of fuel. Another reason could be the spark plugs.
From all of my experience with cars if a car turns off while in motion it tends to be the alternator.
car starts but shut off while driving
The car might have an automatic cut off to either disengage the transmission or cut off the engine. Otherwise you will rip apart the transmission.
If the car turns off while driving, it can be a sign of a bad ground. It can also mean a fuel system problem.
The cause for a 1991 Ford Taurus to just cut off while driving is probably a problem with the computer. If the car will start again after about 90 minutes, then check the computer module for code errors.
is your check engine light on? and what kind of Lincoln is it? its probably becasue your car is NFG or POS
