Help. I have a vauxhall vectra 1.8 16v that keeps cutting out at junctions instead of dropping down to normal idling speed. i have changed the idling valve and sensor but the problem still exists. Anyone got any ideas??????? :( :( :(

What to check next

Diagnostic guidance. Suggested checks and possible repairs are separate from the owner's reported results.

Have the idle-control supply and operation checked, and have the intake plumbing inspected. Confirm the actual model year and engine before applying specifications.

check for vacuum leaks. If it has MAF look for cracks in the air intake boot between the engine and MAF sensor

Discussion summary

Vauxhall vectra 1.8 16V idling problem

A Vectra described as a 1.8 16-valve cut out at junctions instead of settling to idle. Replacing an idle valve and a sensor had not resolved the problem.

Reported outcome: No successful repair was reported.

The stored year is inconsistent with the vehicle description. A reply suggested intake leaks, but no test established a leak or failed component.
