Engine cut out

[Robbo D]

Hello guys.

Some advice please. I think this is a me problem and not the car as I’m not really used to driving it yet. Engine cuts out if for example reversing into my garage and I don’t give it a bit of throttle same on a slow manoeuvre. Starts straight away no problem. I think it’s me as I’m used to driving a V12 automatic. Your thoughts very much appreciated.

Stepper motor clean is the first place to start.

What do you mean by a bit of throttle? Are you trying to manoeuvre at slow speed just on the clutch at idle?

[Robbo D]

Yep good way of putting it. Probably not used to the car that’s all.

I can manoeuvre mine around like that on the flat with a lot of care but any sort of gradient / ramp needs some throttle.

Same, the revs drops significantly if I don't push the loud pedal enough when manoeuvring.
Doesn't need a lot, but does need some.

Cheers guys. I thought that might be the case. Just used to an auto v12 jag and my everyday car Clio diesel which will pull on tickover no problem.
