Id say clean out the IAC valve on the TB and reset it and then the computer again (power off for 30min+)

sorry for the late reply... throttle body was pretty dirty, cleaned it all out before i put it back in.. what do i clean the iac with? throttle body cleaner or some metho or something? and just un plug the battery for half hour ? serviced the transmittion today didnt help either... the pan was pretty clean, no bits of metal or anything...... took a bit of notice of it today, when cold it doesnt do it, its after a few minutes of driving and braking that it does it....

ok cleaned the AIC valve, was dirty as..... cleaned all of the holes inside the throttle body.... and while i was there checked the crank angle sensor and the plug on that was pretty dirty too... cleaned that and one of the metal slots on the plug lookes pretty crap so i tryd scratching on it to bare metal. cleaned that to the best as i can.. dryed off with paper towl and let sit for 20 mins then put a hair dryer on it all for about 5 mins took it for a drive, thought mad its gone... soon as the car warmed up the bloody thing starts again.... any suggestions?

some things you just shouldn't skimp on......crank angle sensor being one of them, buy a new one and you wont have to replace it ever again

i did a bit of research, it says to pour cold water on it when it warms up and starts stumbling and playing up... il give it a go and if it fixes it il buy a new one if not il replace it anyway with the vt one and put the money on a new coil pack and dfi module. im guessing its one of the sensors... not sure why the ecu is not picking it up but hey.. might look into a multimeter if this doesnt work and go over the whole thing..
