Good Luck!

Cheers for the comments guys.
Whilst putting the finishing touches to the car I noticed the exhaust was loose so i took it off, put some more paste on it and let it warm up on idle.
When moving the car back into the garage it kept on stalling at normal idle 900ish rpm. It's ok if I hold the revs at about 1200. The problem seems to be when it comes off choke (auto) as it's fine before then.
Why is there always a problem at the last moment.

The car is on stock carb, manifold, ignition and controller.

The only thing I can think of is I snapped the vacuum tail off the esc2 module and stuck it back on with superglue. Maybe there is a vacuum leak there.

my old sierra 1800 Pinto would quit at idle with the vac hose to either the carb or esc2 off. So a vac leak is a good place to start.
