I wonder if you have a vacuum leak from the servo.
How much fuel do you have in the tank? When running low (which is now never in my car!) my car would sometimes cut out or try to cut out dependant on the amount of fuel in the tank.
The AAV shouldn't really affect it. It is quite simply a disc which is open (thus allowing extra air into the engine at low RPM via bypassing the throttle) which will eventually close up once the element heats up off its 12V supply.
I have had the problem for a long time, and the amount of fuel has no influence on the problem.
Neither has the brake :/ as i Said, it drops as i stop the car almost as it's about to die/stall, and the goes back to 950 rpm and stays there, and that is with or without toutching the brake :/ i should also mention that when i start the car, the car sometimes crank a few times before it starts and then cuts off imidiatly and then i Can start it just after with no problems. Other times it starts without cutting out but then runs lumpy at idle the first 10 seconds.
I have changed, coil, plugs, distributor cap, rotator arm and leads, and i have had the timing set correctly.
I can't figure out the problem, and it just ruins the experience
