N reg 1.3 Ford Fiesta keeps on cutting out when I slow down?

N reg 1.3 Ford Fiesta keeps on cutting out when I slow down nearly to a stop. It is fine when driving a long, but as soon as you slow down it tries to cut out or cuts out altogeter.

Most of the time this is caused by the idle control valve.
Fitted alot of these valves price new £45-60
Very easy to fit

I have solved it!. I replaced the Idle Control Valve. Got a second hand one from a car breakers for £10. Only had to undo two bolts and a clip and swap it over. all done in about 2 minutes and my car runs better than ever before.
