I've had my car for a few years now and it's recently started playing up. It has the automatic start stop feature, which works when you have both the handbrake on and the car out of gear.
Recently the engine's been cutting out whenever I use the brakes, and the revs just drop to 0. It also revs itself when idling as soon as I start the car.
Its also started juddering as if it's in too high a gear no matter what gear I'm in. I've had a read around the forums, and i've found a thread on what seems similar to what I'm experiencing but much much worse, it's a post about the engine idling at around 800, dropping to ~500rpm and jumping up to ~1200 and back to 800 when the ECU picks up on the low revs. For me, it's not just a case of dropping revs, and climbing again it's as if the ECU doesn't even pick up on the fact that there's low revs, the engine just cuts out.
