Vl Calais
Hello everyone
Recently purchased a VL Calais and having some problems with it
It idles rough but never dies on idle.. sounds like it has sort of a miss
When driving whenever slowing down at a red light or stop sign, or turning at a low speed the car will just die and turn off, I can then pop it into neutral and start it up again and drive normal until I approach another situation where I have to slow down or come to a complete stop

Oil has been changed, spark plugs, leads
I have sprayed the AFM with cleaner, I've taken apart the dizzy and where the bearing is there is no dust the actual round orange bit is still intact
I've put a full tank of BP98 and run injector cleaner in it and it's still doing it and no mechanic can work it out

Please I need help!!
Thanks in advance

Dizzy cap and rotor are good ?
Have a look at night in the dark to see if you have any arcing.
Also check and try cleaning the cas plug and socket on top of the dizzy body.

This ^^

Also try a replacement MAF. Either off another known good vl, or purchase new.

Check/replace the fuel filter too
