My wifes 2.0 GLS  has started to cut out when running.

 It runs perfect until you take your foot off the pedal and then it just cuts out! You can keep it running if you just gently caress the pedal, but the moment you let go it stops running.

Any suggestions or any links to similar problems would be very much appreciated.

hi there i had same prob with my 2.0 cd and a friends 2.2 cd auto i striped the throtle bodies on both saturday past and cleaned them and the air jet and all the breather hoses. goes like new and its not that big a job took about an hour and half. well worth a go and theres a good manual in the maintanence section. hope this helps.

Try the paperclip test...sounds like the crankshaft sensor could be faulty...

ICV needs cleaning.

I thought it might be the ICAV and changed it tonight for a good one I had, but problem was the same.

 I'll try the cleaning and also see if I have a Crankshaft sensor problem.

Cheers lads

paperclip it then, see what codes are stored.

Clean the throttle body as well and all surrounding breathers (especially one from inlet manifold to the cam cover, had to drill mine it was so clogged!).  Cleaning the ICV alone didn't help mine at all.

Managed to give everything a  good clean and hey Presto it runs like a dream!

Thanks for the help and support lads and the thread in the maintainence section was a superb.

Good to hear it!
