anybody ?   please help , it keeps cutting out when coming to a stop

try tightening the accelerator cable at the throttlebody end.

take up the slack, run the engine to running temp, then tighten/slacken the cable till you get a good idle.

thats a temp fix till you sort whats causing it.

is it an injection engine?

I had the same problem,
checked timing, plugs, leads, fuel lines etc.
but in the end I took it to a local Suzuki dealer,
it only took him 5 minutes to find
a vacuum rubber tube under the air filter had perished / cracked with old age.
So a new 3 inch piece of tube and problem cured,
cost me £15
you get this advice for free
good luck

cheers Paul
i will check this , although this might sound a bit mad but ive replaced the radiator as it was knackered and the idle problem isnt half as bad. maybe coincidence.
thanks again .
