Any ideas please.

just got a 192ps had new radiator fitted,everthing fine and car running well. Didnt use car for a couple of days due to bad snow so i thought i would start up to let it run for five minutes,it ran for five minutes then cut out.struggled to start it again and when it started the engine warning light started flashing and then stayed on. after a minute or so the revs start dropping then it cuts off again. last night it did it again and now it wont start at all. Please help me.

my bad, i misread that as 'you cut it out/off'

folks here can likely provide some help. give us some basic info:
year model
mileage
other mods
past history(if you know it)

and it coule be extremely helpful if you can get that code(Check Engine Light) read so we know what it is

Here is a helpful piece of advice - don't post two threads on on exactly the same issue - https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-trouble-shooting-95/help-me-please-208699/.

In the meantime, get someone over who can pull the code(s) for the CEL you got and post back on your other thread. I'm guessing it will be a P0301.
