Xantia 2.1td shuts down

With my car it seemed to be a faulthy connector on the revs.impulse counter.

The computer thaught the motor was standing still and therefor cut the flow of fuel...

Approximately 5-6 years ago I had to bring my car back and several changes were made free of charge...this was one of them (new connector ?).

It mainly happened to me when I started the car.... no ignition no starting... seemed there was no fuel..

Second try everything ok.

It also happened me twice while running at speed, quite disturbing but I could launch the motor back in life by putting it in lower gear and clutching again.

Now it's already fine for 5-6 years.

With a HDi engine the Injectors, the High pressure pump and/or the primairy pump in the fueltank could cause this problem. In my case (Fiat JTD two injectors leaked). The throttle sensor does not shut down the engine but just causes the engine to go in emergency mode and restrict power to a minimum value.
