Drove down to London at the weekend for a wedding and the car seems to have developed a fuel problem. The car accelerates and pulls fine and ticks over with no problem but when de- accelerating, when coming to a roundabout for instance the revs drop down to 500 rpm and occasionally the car stalls. Bit puzzled as the car is behaving fine apart for this and the fuel filter was replaced at the service a week ago.

Cleaned the stepper motor but to no avail, I’ll try looking at the rubber pipe next to see if that's collapsing......after cleaning the stepper motor i took the car for a spin to see if it cured it but snapped the throttle cable 5 miles up the road..Doh!..Replaced the cable but the accelerate pedal is now sitting a lot high than the brake pedal, didn't have time to check but is this adjusted by the screw thread on the accelerator cable by the throttle housing thing? Sorry but can't check at the moment as not home and i only have a couple of hours to adjust it when i get back Friday as I have a ride drive session this weekend.
