    Default VP low idle/stalling under certain conditions

    My auto VP almost stalls or does stall if:

    • I put it into N when waiting at the lights, it'll almost conk out in D at the next lights
    • I force gears 2 or 1
    • I have the aircon on for a while then go around a bend or corner
    Any ideas anyone? I want to check error codes using the ALDL, but I couldn't find the damn thing around the ECU.

    Sounds like you got low engine oil or needs new .. Check the levels mate.

    But, heres the basic run down:

    Clean Pod/Pannel Filter
    New Spark Plugs & leads
    Oil change
    Clean out ya TB , might be clogged with black stuff

    yeah clean you throtle body and reset your base idle, that could be your problem mate.

    Hmm okay. I had a feeling it could've been the TB, base idle, or CAS. I guess I'll either find a workshop manual or get a mechanic to have a look at it.

    Thanks .
