vauxhall vectra 1996 auto?
it cut out three times while driving had someone clean it through with redex in case it was a blockage and they turned the revs up 2 900 as they were resting at about 600 it hasnt cut out since i had this done b ut ive lost a little confidence in the car and am nervous now driving at speed in case she dies again is there anyway of getting her checked over to make sure shes safe, as the mechanic we spoke to said he couldnt tell unless it happened while he was driving it. any one got any ideas

Hello
I have a 97 Vectra 2.0 Auto
2.900 is to high to idle. It should be 1.000, at 2,900 mine is looking to change up a gear.
Mine does that when I need to put in Water or Oil so check both and lower the idle. You must be jumping all over the place when you select drive or reverse, now you know why you feel wrong as it unable to drop the revs low enough to autoselect neutral when you are stopped at lines etc, it is like having one foot on the accelerator and the other on the brake.
If you can't find controls give me a shout

dont know how they have turned the revs up because its not adjustable, unless they have bodged the throttle cable to do this.
the problem could be that the idle control valve needs cleaning, is it cutting out while driving along at a particular speed or when approaching junctions?
