When I drive a certain distance, when I slow down the car switches off. But if I park on the side and allow it to cool off then drive again it doesnt switch off. But again if I drive long and when I slow down to reach a robot or stop sign it switches off

Hi Mashelevk,

It sounds like a classic vacuum leak or air intake boot leak, please check out this link, and let me know.
