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.

Plug the pipe at carb and see what happens,you wont have vac to esc but you will know if its leaking.

Well the car is all loaded up on the trailer ready for tomorrow.
I did run it up eariler and it still wouldn't idle correctly. I pulled the vac hose of the manifold and it got really lumpy and kept trying to die without lots of revs. To stop it stalling I've upped the revs to about 1200 on the adjuster but I'm not happy with the "solution" at the sec. Has anyone any other ideas?

Good luck for tomoz fella! Car looks great, with your running fault you say it does it when the car has warmed up!? Is the auto choke working correctly? If that isn't going right off it would run crap then check all your vacuum pipes are in the correct place. Hope you get it sorted before the test as I don't think he will be happy with the emissions if it's not running correctly.

Did you blank the hole/pipe Steve,if you leave the hole open it bypasses the throttle butterfly and runs lean and will die on idle.

I've got the left side of the manifold running to the esc2. The right side is blanked with a tapered bolt. In the centre one side is blanked with a bolt and a short bit of vacuum pipe and the other bit of the t goes to the crank breather.
Is this right as it's only just started to happen but got worse last night.  Untitled by Series1Landy, on Flickr Last edited by SeriesLandy : 5th June 2014 at 08:26 PM.
