Have you run out of fuel ?

Make a note of the fault codes if & when they are read/cleared.

Good luck.

When mine popped up an ESF and rolled to a halt, it would turn but not catch.

In my case it was the LPFP in the tank - the fault code (can't remember exact number) translated into low fuel pressure. I see no ships........
