   The past couple morning when ive started my engine, the revs would drop & the car would just cut out, then when i try again, the revs go down as in its about to stall, then they go back to normle, why is this? :\
   
   Thanks

    Thanks for everyone who answered my questions, sorry it has taken me this long for me to reply.
    
    Had the car serviced not long after my original post and it seems to be working okay.
