My Vauxhall Astra G Petrol MK-IV 1.6 8v 2002 stalls occasionaly (enough for me to be concerned anyway. When I pull upto a round-about, or slow down to a stop quickly. I have only had the car for nearly 2 weeks and apart from this the car seems to be running quite well. I have checked the sprk plugs. they seem to be in good condition and nearly new.

Does anyone have nay experience of this issue, or even better know how I can fix it?

Thanks.

This may be a simple fix of removing the air intake tube and cleaning the throttle body and butterfly flap.There is no throttle cable on these ,so you need to be careful when opening the flap by hand.Make sure ignition is off.

hi

it is most likely to be the EGR valve sticking. don't get a cheapy pattern replacement get a delphi one.

i own a similar astra and had the same problem in the past.
