Hi All,
First post in the forums. My Sister's car is playing up. It started every now and again but quite regular now. Car starts up fine in the morning but when you pull away it stalls. Only seems to happen in the mornin and there is no faults being registered.
took it to the Garage they say they tested the battery and its fine and no faults. Annoying though as it never happens when its with them.
Anyone have the same problem or can recommend a fix?
Cheers
Will

Clean the Stepper Motor/Idle Control Valve.
You'll find a How To somewhere if you search.
