Hi, When i brake to come to a corner, my eml light comes on and when i de-clutch, my car idles at 1500rpm but when i accelerate, the eml goes of and works/drive fine, it just comes on when i brake or slow down for a corner etc.
just wanted to know if any1 here knows what my problem is? i got told it was my air mass flow meter?

Sounds like your IACV (Idle Air Control Valve) to me.
Characteristics of AFM (Air Flow Metre) is that it'll bog down, then suddenly pick up i.e. delayer reaction on the throttle.
