Power cuts out.

2000 Vauxhall Astra 1.8 bertone

Car: Vauxhall Astra
Year: 2000
Variant: 1.8 bertone

Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss

I have had the car for over a year now and on occasion the engine light will flash then stay on. During this the car will lose all power and the engine cuts out. The electrics stay on and continue to work. When I try and turn it over straight after, the engine light flashes, stays on and the car won't start. Give it 15-30 minutes and it will start again. I have had my mechanic look at it on and off but he can't seem to work it out. It keeps happening when I have been in traffic and when pulling away. Someone please give me some advice? Many thanks.

First things I would check and replace if needed would be the plugs , then coil pack and next , crank sensor .
