It started very well this morning for and I didn't give any problems as I normally do to warm it up and left to work with no hassles along the highway it started as if like is cutting the petrol and I insisted to drive it until eventually the it switches off and restart again it goes then when I drive slow it switches off again the problem is it does not idle and when I drive it switches off the moment I hit the brakes or press the clutch.

Hey MPHELA30,

As far as the idle, have you checked for vacuum leaks or the idle air control valve (IAC)? The IAC is responsible for maintaining the engine idle speed.

Here are a couple of guides that can help you find the problem.

Please let us know happens so it will help others.
