HOW CAN I FIX MY VAXHALL VECTRA FROM CUTTING OUT?

WHEN CHANGING DOWN THE GEARS TO COME TO A STOP THE VEHICLE CUTS OUT BUT STARTS UP FINE
BOBBY MCLEAN, February 2005
Remove the idle valve located beside the throttle body. Clean it out with some injector cleaner and fit back. This will keep you out of trouble for about 6 to 8 months.

Sounds like your Idle valve might be on the blink, mine had same trouble.

Takes around 10mins to remove and fit a new one (around £50 on ebay) (around £150 from dealers). You choose.

If you need fitting instructions, just reply and ill sort you out. :o)
