Car cutting out

[glanza97]

Hello guys, had a problem for a long while now, my car will just cut out sometimes if i stick it in neutral or have my clutch down when coming to a stop... not all the time but quite often it will happen. I've got a new dizzy cap and rotor arm here which Im going to change tonight, but just wondering if anyone else has had this issue... all the earths are on the engine etc and also have a voltage stabilizer. The only other thing I can think of besides the dizzy is the ignitor and/or core...

Mine used to do this sometimes until I changed the crank thrust bearings.

Forged engine just rebuilt can't be that... just put a new dizzy and rotor arm on still not solved

just try runing an wire from the ingitor bracket to the bulk head mate, mine was doing this and i spent loads on new parts and it turbed out to be a dodgy earth on the ignitor which i found by blind luck. worth a shot neways as its free!

Happened to me several times, when slowing down, stopping - almost like, when the car lost momentum it would cut out.

I did some searching and found happens a few times, what sorted it for me a replacement idle control valve that sits on the intake manifold.

Doesn't happen anymore, Heres what I mean - though I only paid £20
