I know this has been asked before, but just wanna say the car's symptoms etc and then see what you guys think.

Starts fine, idles straight away at about 900rpm and will stay there fine. But as soon as I try and move the car, like reverse or go forward or whatever, or even if I just rev it on the spot.......it will then drop to about 500rpm ish and 'chug' for a while and slowly increase revs and will eventually work it's way back up to 900rpm ish and settle down. Also, twice now I've pulled up to junctions with the clutch in and the revs have dropped so low that the car's actually cut out. That's only started happening 2 days ago so I'm guessing it's getting worse slowly. doh

Does that sound like a particular thing? Or is it one of these problems where it could be one of a hundred different things?
