I noticed something very strange about my 360 (B200K) the other day...

I have gone about 1/2 a mile after a cold start, and was doing 40, and decided to see how well the car would roll down a slight hill.

So i took it out of gear, and the engine almost stalled. I had had it doing ~1200rpm on the choke at a junction about 15 seconds earlier, but as soon as i took it out of gear it hit about 250rpm and stayed there! The battery light actually came on!

I know its not the sort of thing that you'd do in normal driving, but whats going on?! It doesnt do it at all when the engine is warm. Any clues?

cheers
