Ford s-max cutting out while driving

    As the title suggests, the car has cut out a number of times recently. My mechanic has only serviced it last week and last night he plugged it in and the error reported was something like 'fuel intake pressure' or something. He sorted that out but today the same thing happened again. I was driving along and the car started to almost seize up before the power completely drained out and the engine died. It is just a matter of turning the key again and I'm abck in business but its worrying me what it could be.

    Any ideas? Suggestions?

    Thanks in advance.

    Its a 2006 s-max 1.9 tdi with 190000km on it

    Sounds like the low fuel pressure pump in the fuel tank I'm a qualified technician did he give you the fault code
