    Time to get it code tested.
    It could be a fault in the idle control or fuel systems. A code test will give you a better idea of where to start looking.
    Does the fault only occur when the car is idling or does it loose power while driving as well?

    Only happens if driving while braking, so only while idling i suppose. Took it for a spin and it drives great until stopping slowing anddoesnt happen every time either.
