I don't really mind the stalling, but the result of the stalling is me nailing my car from cold to get the thing warmed up! Once it's warm it stops stalling, but it does tend to dip to 500rpm when you dip the clutch and then slowly raise to a steady 900rpm idle.
I've not started checking the obvious things but just wondered if anyone had any ideas.
I'm going to check the idle speed control valve and TPS. anything else it could be?
