Infrequent Stall on mk2 16v

[badboy]

I have a superb mk2 16 vulva and kiss and hug it every day. Only one prob with it ; when warm it occasionally stalls when coming to a stop (dip the clutch at low speed and it dies) . sometimes the revs dip but the car manages to recover just before stall. This only ever happens when at full temperature, and seems to be worse after being on long times.
Please, please give me some advice oh wise ones

Look at the throttle valve switch on the throttle body, or the idle stabilisation valve.

sounds to me that you want to set your idle up correctly then check for other probs ,if you do a search its on here somewhere recently in the last week me thinks regards kevin

I'd sort of agree here.

There is a tiny microswitch on the throttle body that when depressed tells the ECU to set utself to an idle mode.

If the switch were faulty it could give the wrong signal.

My 16v has a similar problem at the moment and we're are investiating the coil. For 35 quid it rules itself out. And considering the amount i've spent on the engine bay - this is a drop in the ocean.

Our line of thinking is that the coil is discharging or not charging at the wrong time. I'm not a mechanic, i'm a walking talking cheque book and debit card machine.

I've seen a couple of intermittant failures of the idle switch, when they wear it seems to cause more of a problem on fully/part electronic fuel injection models, ie vw 9A and audi 7A.
