Hi get the car diagnosed with a scanner the code that comes up will give you a clue to whats failing, wild guess is its a fuelling problem possibly the lift pump in the tank.

Hi Mark,

no fault found ?

door lock not a fault?

did you clear /repair the door lock ?

detailed feedback would be most helpful to the forum.

Unless that was a professional grade scanner it can not be relied upon. The cheap scanners from China are cheap for a reason.
