K11 1.0 Micra S engine cuts out

[AvengedArmy]

I'm having problems with the engine cutting out. I let it idle before and it got to operating temperature after about 10 minutes, but then the revs kept dropping then returning to normal. It kept doing it for around 2 minutes then just stopped.
I only got it a week ago for my first car and I knew it had a few problems, and I was hoping to fix it so it's ready for when I pass my test, there was around a litre too much oil in it, that's been drained out and it's now on the maximum mark, any ideas what it could be?

And where would that be? I read somewhere that there's solder joints behind a panel on the throttle body that crack, but the panel isn't there on my car?

Wrong throttle body, the plate with the solder joints isn't there.

Fuel pressure, vacuum leak, disconnect the maf. Pop out the plugs to see condition. Head gasket fail. Lots to try and check. Get yourself a Haynes or Google and YouTube.

thought all k11,s had that type of t/b fitted, oh well.

The coil pack ones have a different t/b.

I found it, it's at the back between the tb and the firewall, cleaned the idle control valve and the maf sensor and it runs great, thanks for the help
