03 1.4 TDCi - Engine cutting just after I start - cotton
If I turn the key to position 2, the orange spiral light (I think this warms the injectors??) flashes on with all the rest then goes off. It never stays on even at -5 degress C. Then I start the engine and it would happily tick over all the time. But if I start driving and then come to a stop at some lights for example, then engine will cut out. It seems the car lets the revs drop too low and it cuts out. This will go on for about 2-3 mins, after that it's fine. I can take my foot off the pedal and it will keep turning over.

Does anyone have any idea what this could be??
