my car has been idling all over te place recently.

the revs would drop when it became warm to around 500rpm.

i adjusted the idle speed screw so that they were just below 1000 (when warm)

when i started the car from cold it idled at 1,200 revs and fell to just under 1,000 when warm then after a little while after this they fell to 500rpm again and stalled at a roundabout (again).

some people have said to check for leaks on the inlet vacuum hoses but there are no obvious splits or anything and i don't know of a way to check them more specifically.

i have also heard that the idle speed control valve (auxillery air device....) is a common weak spot so i thought i would get a new one and see if the problem is solved.

sorry for the 'essay post'! lol
