    It only ever seemed to stall on light throttle at low speeds when moving, not at cruising speeds where more throttle was used, or revs were up a bit even if on closed throttle.

    On the final day, I got the check engine light on the dashboard first thing that morning, it was stalling continuously until I was able to coax it to higher speeds, at which point it did not stall.

    But when back to idle or low speed, it started behaving very badly.

    It was lucky I was able to coax it to the mechanic for the code readout.

    I live in the country, so lower traffic density allowed me to "work around" the problem to some extent.

    If this problem had have become bad in city traffic, it would have been a tow truck job.....until the mechanic told me to unplug the AFM sensor plug, which allowed me to drive gently for 3 days whilst waiting for the replacement sensor to arrive in the mail.

    Whilst the sensor was unplugged, it did not stall once.
