What causes an engine to cut out when stopping?...

I've done that recently.

It did it again tonight. I definitely think it's more air or fuel related. If it was ignition related the engine would be just being fine, just being fine, just being fine, oh dead, right? Whereas what I'm getting is more, I slowing up, I'm slowing up, I'm dipping the clutch, I'm stopping, revs are dropping, revs are now dropping beyond idle speed as if the clutch is still out as I'm brake, but my clutch foot is now on the floor, oh and revs are now zero and it's died

Quick turn the key the 3rd click and she's alive again!

Could it be fuel pressure as if the pump isn't up to the job?

That picture was from when I first got the car bud. One of my first jobs was to fit the tie down bracket

I'd expect low fuel pressure (as opposed to a fuel blockage) would cause you more of a problem at high revs (highest fuel demand)?

If you think it's not ignition, then I go back to my original post about checking for vacuum leaks and all the idle control valves.

Or the pressure regulator?

Shall do chief. Though wouldn't a vacuum leak cause constant issues pretty much every time I come to a halt like this?

Yep, or that.

I guess the only way to test either with it being an intermittent problem is to replace both and see right?

What causes an engine to cut out when stopping..............................uninstalled Orange space savers.

But
- ignition switch
- quality spark
- fuel pressure
- vacuum leak along the iacv
- Clubbing Eddy aem ems

I did wonder whether it's just down to that

Does your key light (far right green one) blinks three times when your car cuts out?

Yes? It's ignition switch

No? it's not ignition switch

No. If I recall correctly only the battery light comes On.

Say, in that pic, that's not how the dash is supposed to light up on the first two turns of the key is it?
