Help!!!!!!!!!!!

Not a massivly devastating problem i think. But anyway, the engine has been cutting out occasionally while slowing down(engine braking i think, cant say for sure), just wondering what it could be? And how would i fix it?

cutting out? you mean that it shuts down? So when you let off the gas, the idiot box lights up as if it turned off, then BAM it's back? Happened to me too if that is the case. Check the connections on your battery neg. cable.

Yup exactly that, it's not a constant thing. Only happens rarely, like once a night(say 2-5 hours driving). All i do is clutch in and turn it back on quickly(gotten rather fast at it now).

Could be a number of things. Bad or intermittant EFI relay, bad BAC valve, intermittant key switch, etc.
