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  

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  :-/

Its the only thing i can think of........plugs were changed 5k ago....air filter is prob overdue.....not been changed for 20k now   have a new one sitting on top of the microwave   So will do both next week and see how it goes

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

[Auto Addict]

Throttle body and breathers, especially the sump breather.

Its always been on LPG when its done it, never tried it on petrol....

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

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
