Right, my car starts, runs fines drives fine, i get down the road and my yellow light just randomly comes on! i can drive the car as normal until i put it in neutral or pull up at a junction and it stalls, it jus wont tick over. i let it stall itself, start it up again and off it goes runnin as normal, then down the road again it does the same again! i wne to my nearest vauxhall garage and they said get some carb cleaner and clean out the inlet manifold and carb thing. so i did and its still fucking up. i might go to the garage and use there fault code reader!
anyone else had this problem or know wot to do?

whats a paperclip test?! if u mean the diagnostics thing then i done that and i found the problem!
i didnt think anything of it but just before it all started happening just after my speedo stopped workin! it all has something to do with when u start to slow down so does your idle speed, i think you can see it decreasing when u put it in to neutral and slow down. and because my speedo aint workin it gets all confused and stalls!! so now i gotta get a new sensor which apparently costs like £60! bearing in mind thats what a garage said so i dont know how much it will be! does ne1 have ne ideas where i can get 1 cheap?!
