Car Cutting out

[MikeF]

My car keeps cutting out at low revs. Tried resetitng the ECU by disconnecting the battery -ve lead - ran great for about 100 miles then started again.

Getting to the stage its really starting to annoy me.

Any suggestions?

Unpluggin the battery doesn't clear the problem it stays in the cars memory.
Probably the throttle body dirty you need to remove it clean it with some carb cleaner and stick it back in.

I read some conflicting information on whether it does or not clear the problem, it did seem to make a difference.

I'll try taking the throttle body out - is it an easy enough job?
