Engine cutting out - S2

[jims2]

Anyone experienced this before.

Car running really well after MOT and new clutch recently but is cutting out at times
usually when approaching a junction or roundabout. Just the odd time you know when you
lazily change down and maybe leave it in neutral a bit longer than normal it catches
straight away when clutch is released but its scary when you press the brakes and it
feels for a minute like they are not working.

I would have to say check the idle control valve. Does it do it all the time or just from hot/cold?

Isn't your brake servo holding vacuum?

Sorry got caught up in family stuff.

1, seems to be only after its warmed up.

2, guess its not holding vacuum didn't think of that at the time, something else to worry about.

Get your hand under the servo and have a feel for rust/rot but take care you could get a nasty cut
