Hi,the orange engine light came on in my car today it's a 1.6 sport,car was running fine then cut out and hardly starts.When it does start it splutters then cuts out and won't tick over at all unless i keep revs on.Any ideas?

Sounds like the ICV (idle control valve) maybe?

Could be, my haynes manual says inlet manifold leaks can cause engine stalls, but would a leak bring the EM light on?

yeah it would, absolute manifold pressure readings would be off the scale, EM wont like it at all
