engine cuts out when dipping clutch..?

[tommy_1664]

On my 03 plate 172....used to cut out occasionaly when coming up to a junction etc and dipping the clutch, now it happens virtually every time the clutch is pressed in low gears!

cam dephaser pulley also needs doing - is this related?

was serviced a couple of months ago with oil change etc..

My 1.2 did this, it was a fault with a certain sensor, but I can't remember which one sorry. Diag might show it up.

Exactly the same thing was happening me a while back, turned out to be a knackered battery just.

Congrats on your 1st post

happened on a 172 I had borrowed a while back. Was the alternator in the end!

i had this in an old 306. the idle control valve was sticking and not letting air through so the car would stall. all i had to do was clean it out. could also be the idle sensor being dirty or knackered.

ICV is sticking ..

or the whole tb since you have electronic throttle.. so your TB uses an automatic choke (water controled idle valve) which is built into the TB..

You need to replace the TB to cure it..

ICV - Idle control valve
TB - Throttle Bodie

ah ok so nothing related to the depahser pulley that's also going?

how much am i looking at to replace the TB?

try cleaning the ICV first, if not maybe scrappies to keep costs down?
