Q: Car would self stall even in neutral
So my car was fine one evening then the next day it was really julty when the revs were under 2000, and the it got the loint where the needle would keep bouncing with no acceceleration used, then it got worse and would just stall as soo as then engine can on if i didnt give it a load of revs, i took it to the garage witch took 10 to get the issue and they think that it is the time gauge valve, which will need a specist, i cant find any information on the internet the garage says it will cost at least £1000 can you spread some light on how likely this is.
