   Hi
   
   Had this problem a while now, car keeps cutting out when i come to a stop. I've noticed that when i use anything electrical in the car E'g windows, heater etc, the revs drop. could this be causing it.
   
   I have cleaned the icv, its had a full service including coil pack.

   Its all still poiting to the ICV. It might be clean but could be faulty too.

   This has been happening to me as well. What is an ICV? How do you clean it?

   Cheers Pal
   
   My car been doing it this past week. Seems ok when the car is warm...but last night was different. I drove about 2miles to a shop, went in, got my stuff, came back out again and tried to start...nothing. Managed to get it going but needed to keep the revs above 1500rpm. Got to a roundabout and changed to 2nd, and it cut out whilst I was going round! Lucky it was late last night so no cars on the road. Managed to get it started and back home. Started ok this morning
