Does anyone have any ideas?

whenever I stop, slow down, change gear or generally take my foot off the accelerator my engine cuts out. most times I have to ignition start it but if I'm quick enough I can bump it. I have been told it could be a problem with the IDLE but not sure ow I would sort that out. If you have any ideas it would be much appreciated. Thanks

idle air control valve would be a good place to start

sits behind the rocker box to left off ctr held by 2 alan keys and a plug

 

Have fun

I had a similar problem with my vauxhall vectra and cleaned the throttle body out completely which sorted it out. The garage didn't know how to sort it so I googled it!

 

Not sure how applicable it might be for the Galaxy...but worth looking into perhaps?
