Had this on my old c and it was a broken wire to the afm or something similar.

i'd check the sparks and leads mate - had this on my 1.4 8v and it turned out to be the spark leads - have a look when its dark and see if you can see the leads arcing

ok just got it started by just trying the ignition for ages, help me tho :P lol

update:

never got round to doing the paperclip test...

so yeh as before sometimes my cars revs would drop right down (and on some occasions car engine would cut out) when i removed my foot from the accelerator... although when it did cut out the revs would be fine when i started car back up again...

it has been standing for a day or so now and i just tried to start it up... its nearly getting there but just wont get the engine going...

do a paperclip test, the faults should be stalled...

as usual, suspect icv...

For last few days my car has been nearly cutting out when i bring my foot off the accelerator. It varies where the revs drop to but at times its going right down to like 250... It has cut out a couple of times and the battery lights sometimes gives me a quick flash and i have seen the management light once or twice...

any ideas?
