Hallo everyone - could I have a suggestion please?

This 735 has been mine for 4 years and has never missed a beat of any kind. A few days ago it stalled when slowing to halt and has repeated it now and again, say two or three times, each time I do an hours drive.

Today it stalled - just once - when cold - before it was always once warmed up. Also today, it hesitated a few times when doing about 60mph - a brief, perhaps 1 second, cut-out, rather than a misfire.

Finally, since the misfire started it has twice now kicked in the yellow ASC warning light, roughly at the time when the misfiring recurred. This seems an odd thing to happen co-incidentally, but perhaps the two are related somehow. Nothing else, such as a tyre change, has taken place to cause this.

If it were me I was describing I would say I'd got a bad cold and a cough but I suspect it might develop into something more like a bad flu. Any ideas please?
