I had the same problem with my renault, I contacted a renault specialist who said it could be the idle speed control valve. It was carboned up so had it replaced and is now working fine.

Hi all.

I had a Laguna that cut out with no warning. It'd happen after drawing up to traffic lights/roundabouts and stopping. After being into the dealer and them trying a few things.. it turned out to be the idle speed control valve, which on my ole' 1995 Laguna I 2.0 engine was located at front of the engine passenger side.
The replacement valve was about £100 and took me about 15mins to replace. Incidently prior to replacing this valve, I took it off and gave it a good clean. This solved the stalling for a couple of months then returned. After replacement, I never had problem again. Hope this helps as if you do give it a clean and it is better, then at least you can pin point the cause without too much additional cost.

Same thing kept happening on my Renault Kangoo. Had it in the garage twice, they could not work it out. Had the AA come to have a look, he cleaned the 'crank sensor', took him ten mins. the van has been ok for 2k miles.
