The revs keep dipping and jumping back up as it tries to stop itself stalling, this is not like a normal hunting issue as it ONLY happens when the car is rolling in very slow traffic, when stationary it is fine and runs great. When rolling in traffic at very low revs it struggles a little, when rolling in traffic in nuetral the revs fluctuate between 800 and 300 and sometimes the engine actually stops, as soon as the car stops rolling they return to being fine? im very confused at this as when not in gear there should not be anything to cause this, nothing more than when stationary anyway , only maybe abs sensors taking a reading?? totally stuck on this hope someone can help.
