Been doing it for a week now........
Doesnt do it all the time......but sometimes
When I select P from either D or R, the engine nearly stalls......when it does it, it has always recovered and idles at 700rpm.....
Seems odd to me as I would expect revs to maybe blip upwards slightly as load is taken of engine....
Any ideas??
Cheers

Any codes?
Strange noises - performance ok otherwise?

Clean the ICV if it's got one you don't say what engine it is but that problem does sound like a old Carlton trait and it's always ICV. Same part used on both cars to.

No ICV - DBW engine.

Nothing more than normal for a 4 pot ;D
I'll check codes tomorrow.....but its not been putting on EML for it....
Performance is the same as normal........
Maybe the throttle body needs a good cleaning out again......not been done for a while :-/

Surely the first question is:- does it do it on petrol or LPG or both.

Throttle body and breathers, especially the sump breather.

Cheers AA Think i'll give that a go first off :y

Think ive found it! :)
Just changed the air filter and noticed a vac pipe under the airbox going nowhere.....
The pipe that didnt go anywhere one end, went to the evapourator for the lpg......the T piece it should have been connected to....one pipe went the throttle body........so not sure what that would have been causing the throttle to do.......but i think no vac on the evapourator means max pressure lpg being allowed.......
Not sure how long its been like it........poss since it went under surgery a few weeks ago :-/
Tried it with engine running.....pulling of the vac pipe just seems to make the engine idle very slightly higher.....so something I wouldnt have noticed.......
But hopefully its cured the prob :y
