Revs nearly cutting out when coming to a stop

Right lads just recently the cars been having a bit of a problem. You can pull out of a junction give it a wee blast then next time I stop the revs almost die completely or sit around 3-400rpm and the car shakes
It had an oil change and the oil is good checked the level yesterday
It seems fine when you drive like a granny.
Any suggestions ? It's doing my head in

Dirty throttle body?? That's what caused it in my golf. Was full of crap and caused the flap to get stuck.

funny enough i had the very same problem with my mk3 golf. and as brett said it was the throttle bodie gunked up. might be worth whipping it off and havin a quick look.

try a blast of carb cleaner into the throttle body - get someone to spray it in and you keep your foot on the gas to keep the revs up and the engine from stalling.

EGR valve or IACV are going to be the main culprits, take them off and give them a good clean with some carb cleaner.

Similar problem on my old Accord, was either the icm or coil (can't remember which).

Any holes in the manifold/downpipe?

Yeah got plenty of them in mine! Is it idling up and down at idle?

I thought it might have been the IAC will check the throttle body and that tomorrow

Nah no holes did it on the old exhaust and the new system which is sealed tightly
It only seems to be after booting it a bit

Nop idle stays steady, just now it's sitting where it should but if I give a blast and then stop the revs pretty much bounce off zero then settle at 400roughly if you leave it sitting after about 5minutes they jump up to 700 and stays steady, it's not hunting
