my y reg micra intermittanely cuts out when slowing down at roundabouts, traffic lights etc. It has been tested on a diagnostic machine and the garage couldnt find anything wrong. However its done it 3 times since yesterday. It starts up ok. It doesnt happen all the time, could it be fuel injection problems.

thanks for any advice

The Dio would have picked that up, where do you fill up with fuel?

My old cavalier used to do that, a common fault on those, a sticky idle control valve, cleaner with carb cleaner and the fault disapeared.

Thanks DWR for replying. I usually get my petrol from either Tesco or Sainsburys
Give it a tankful of Shell - the additives will clean the plugs etc (supermarket petrol doesn't have them).

Take it for a decent run too - at least 30 minutes at motorway speeds - 'clear the tubes' and burn off any crud that is affecting ignition.
Hi Great, as said, fill up on either shell / Esso, also buy a tin of Wynns Petrol Injector cleaner, add to the tank of fuel and go for a good run, after a couple of months bye another tin add to the tank, that should clean out your fuel system, I would not use Supermarkets fuel but that's my choice, I have never used them or will I.

thanks everybody for tips with Petrol, will give it a try
I had an old Astra used to do that, and it was eventually cured by having the coil pack changed.
