Mine was a knock sensor and a map sensor when it happened to me but I diagnosed it using a code reader - it is an expensive game replacing parts purely based on guess work.

Does anyone use a bluetooth OBD2 reader with Torque? eBay is full of millions of them.
Yes this one and Torque Pro for the whopping price of £3.50 or whatever it is these days.

I'm in Windermere, I might be getting a code reader tomorrow, I'll let you know.

Drove fine this morning, only tries to stall at idle when the engines warm after coming to a stop at junctions!

I used to have a very similar problem, turned out to be the butterfly on the inlet (that the throttle opens/closes). Cleaned that all up and all good again.

Could also be that he IACV needs cleaning.

Certainly things to check before throwing money at parts (although the OBD2 reader is a good investment, esp now they are so cheap)

I think there's plenty to read on this in the FAQs.

Yes, I have an ELM327 off eBay.
I use it with the Torque app on my Galaxy Tab 10.1.

P0132

Primary O2 sensor, that's the one in the manifold right?

Can anyone recommend a supplier?
