Stalling after A road runs.

Hey guys,

When I come off an A Road or motorway when i've been at high revs for about 10 mins, I start to slow down on the junction slip-road and my engine check light comes on. I'll hit the clutch just before i hit the lights to change down and the revs drop to 0 and the car stalls. I have to start her up again and drive on. Could see this potentially being quite dangerous :meh: Any ideas what the problem could be? Could be something to do with idle control?

Thanks,

what engine is it?
i had a very similar problem on my x14xe
occasionaly i would have to leave it 5mins before i start it up again because it just wouldnt have it
when i plugged it in it came up with an egr valve code, i cleared it and its been fine ever since

It's a 1.4sri. Lovely little engine when it works. I dont have to leave it 5 mins, i can just start up again. I'll run the paperclip test and the normal codes will come up with no problems either :/
