my vauxhall vectra sounds like it is going to cut out when i start it up. it runs fine when i am driving but when i come to a stop the light,s flicker and the engine sounds like its going to stall
If it is petrol, this is usually caused by a dirty throttle body and/or idle air control valve, depending on which model engine it is.
The best remedy is to remove the throttle body, remove the idle air control valve and clean both with a carburettor cleaner spray and a toothbrush. Make sure the small breather hole low down on the throttle body is clear.
Refit using a new gasket (about 50p. from the Vauxhall dealer spares dept).
