HELP Car almost stalling
#1
The car has just started to play up. When slowing down and stopping at a junction the revs drop right down to almost 0 then hesitate and slowly climb to about 700rpm which is fine. I'm worried that it will stall. At one point the engine warning light came on too. On a couple of occasions it's reved up and down between 0-700.
It has a decat exhaust+scoobysport BB and K&N panel filter. Is this anything to do with it???????????

Probably the 02 sensor in the downpipe.
Mine did this, replaced the bit under warranty, ecu reset and its now fine. Other thing could be an air leak or MAF sensor.

Had exactly the same problem in MY99 just a couple of months ago and I know just how annoying it is!
Dealer initially told me there was no problem with the car but the problem only showed up when the engine was warm and when I was approaching roundabouts and coming to a standstill! Rev counter was bouncing around all over the place!
Replacement of the Air Flow Meter under warranty has definately sorted the problem since then.
I do beleive it would have cost somewhere in the region of £227 + VAT from the dealer.
