I sent it to a garage where they top overhauled and at the same time the timing belt was replaced. While the overheating and the oil consumption had been solved. New anomaly came up. The engine suddenly stops. After this the engine can still be started but cannot rev up. I must then wait for quite few minutes and re-start. After than then it is ok. Anyone out there who knows this? please help!

Im not sure , has the timing belt not been adjusted tight enough , maybe it has moved a couple of teeth off frum where it is spossed to be at. When it stop , does it just stop running , or loose power and then stop?

It runs normal at idle but when the gas pedal is pushed, the engine stops. After few minutes ( 20-30mins), the engine is Ok. Can Rev Up, same power before it stop. When it is stop it loses power and stop.

The fuel filter may also be clogged. What is happen is that if the fuel filter is clog up , the fuel pump is overheating after a while after having such a hard time to force fuel thru a restricted filter. So yes it would restart and idle but not have enough fuel pressure to drive. After the fuel pump then cools down after a time and the debris clogging the fuel filter has settled it will drive til it repeats the same process. Check the fuel system pressure or the fuel filter

Fuel tank was cleaned (quite dirty) so with the fuel line. New filter is installed. The car seems to be ok now. Thanks for the help!
