it could be a million &1 things but id start with Idle control valve you can read the guide to cleaning it here http://www.saxperience.com/forum/sho...d.php?t=174710 or get a new 1 from fleabay or a motor factor

Try a service 1st, new plugs, air filter, and clean the throttle body. Cheaper than replacing every sensor till it works and theres a 80% chance it will cure it.

this could be true as ive stalled my car a few times try putting a few more revs on whilst stationary then lifting the clutch ive found my car pulls off a lot smoother.

I've come to a conclusion as to when it's doin it, every time i start the car hot or cold it's with in the first minute of driving then it's fine seems odd but it's rather annoying
