Hi as of yesterday whilst driving my Vp 5 speed manual it will drive fine and then out of the blue it will nearly come to a stop, then it corrects itself and continues on. But this morning when taking the kids to school the damn thing nearly stopped when i went over a speed bump and then in a back street it finally did stop on me.:bang: I started it again straight away, then i got it up to 3000 revs and tried to get it to idle, it did then stalled. My DH tapped around under the bonnet and it seems to be ok, but for how long i don't know.
Anyone got any suggestions as to what could be going on?:yeah:
TIA.:w00t:

umzz if the cars on gas and has an air filter, that can be the problem, i heard that air filters make your car stall with some gas conversions, other than that, no idea sorry mate.

Air filters are still used on cars running on gas, where else are they going to get air from?
Check all of your vacume lines and reset the ecu, maybe a bit of carby cleaner down the throttle body to clean out the iac valve ect.

Code 12 is No RPM signal, which obviously is normal if the engine isnt running, like in all diagnostic checks, because you arent starting it.

It should flash three times before showing any other error codes, but if all you ever get is code 12, then the computer isnt logging any faults.
