hi im looking for some help with this problem, when i turn on the fan/heater/de mister on the dash board, it sometimes causes the car to jump, the engine cuts out momentairly and then kicks back in. it doesnt happen for long enough for the car to stop, and ONLY happens when i turn on the fan, i have checked the fuse and its fine. anybody had the same problem? or any suggestions? the engine light flicks on for a split second when it happens, but not for long enough to have a diagnostics test doene on it!
thanks!

On top of the heater is a rheostat which gives you the different speeds for the motor, when these play up they suck lots of power for a fraction of a second and power dips.
