today i was sat at a set of traffic lights at a roundabout, and i went to pull off and the car just choked and cut out, to others it would have looked like id stalled but i know i didnt! it started up fine straight away and felt fine when i drove on! what could this have been? bit confused lol!

i hope i did wonderboy lol, but when i pulled it felt like the car was choking, been fine since though! its wierd though as some days my car will feel bit sluggish and others it feels more responsive and smoother! got rid of my K&N cone filter and replaced with a drilled airbox so the air intake is alright i think!

Mines like that sometimes, thats jsut because mine is a 1L 12v, seems as if it idles too low, shakes when it's just started. Pulling away sometimes feels as if it's going to cut out... etc... 
Just need to rev it a little heigher when pulling away.
