EMS Light Coming On - Speed & MAF Sensors

1994 Vauxhall Astra 1.6 Auto
Car: Vauxhall Astra
Year: 1994
Variant: 1.6 Auto
Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
I have recently had a problem with the EMS light coming on mainly whilst I'm slowing down or coming to a junction - not all the time, but occasionally. Then the car engine cuts out and I have to stop and restart. I took it to the garage and they said it was the speed sensor and the maf sensor but they couldn't really see what the problem was. As I'm selling the car in a week or two they just cleaned the sensors up and put them back but the problem has reoccurred. Apart from that it's been a brilliant car. Can anyone help with a quick fix please until I sell it?

To solve the problem, you need to get a code read done, as it sounds like the garage was playing the guessing game which can be more expensive...
