Hi,
New to the forum and I need some help with my P38 please.
Its a 2001 DSE auto. I put a new recon injector pump on it in December last year. All has been good until about 3 weeks ago when it has developed a problem.
When at idle if the gearbox is shifted from neutral into gear whilst the aircon compressor is running it quite often stalls the engine. Sometimes it can stall if only one of these engages at idle - (either the aircon or gearbox). The revs always drop in such a way that for a split second you think it will stall even if it picks it self back up. If it does stall it starts up again straight away no problem. Also very occasionally sometimes when driving along the power will drop away and then come back after a second. It runs perfectly other than these two issues.
It has a tuning box which I have completely disconnected, have checked for air in the fuel lines and fuel leaks. All other piping I can see is well connected and in good condition. Electrical plugs are all connected and look ok.

Any help would be much appreciated to sort this.

TIA
