There are old threads on this but no miracle cures for this problem yet I think. Lately my 1.6 laguna has started to cut out when coming up to junctions and/or roundabouts. After turning on the car it could drive for a couple of miles before you see the problem. When fully warmed up the problem also disappears.
I have had the car fully serviced, ran 2 diagnostic checks, and also got the trottle body cleaned. But the problem persists.
Its very irritating but also extremely dangerous, as it could cut out in the middle of traffic, I dread not think about it.
If any of you have had and solved this problem or have some advice, I'd appreciate it.

Could be due to a faulty engine coolant temp sensor whereby the ECU always thinks the engine is always warm and therefore doesn't make any adjustments for cold running.

would this sensor issue not show up on a diagnostics test. There were no error codes displayed. The car has only done 60K kilometres, and I have yet to heard of any problems with 2006 - lagunas!
