my mate has problem with his frst idleing aswell. When his frst is completely warmed up and u disconnect the iscv valve multiplug his just cuts out straight away? if u start his car up without the iscv plugged up, you need to give it acceleration for it to start up and will only idle if u keep your foot on the accelerator pedal and hold it at 900 - 1000rpm otherwsie it cuts out straight away the moment you move your foot off the pedal, and this all happens when its up to running temperature aswell, so fan has come on an off a few times by now.
IT also stalls while your driving it an you press the clutch down when slowing down for a junction, an the battery & oil lights come on in the dash, and will start only if u stick it 2nd gear and rolling start it by lifting clutch pedal up an jerking start it kinda thing whilst its rolling along.

Does this sound like a base idle problem?

when its fully warmed up and parked up on the driveway, it also starts idleing very funny goes down to 500rpm then pulls itself up again and goes to 1000rpm and kinda hunts up an down, wanting to cut out but then coming alive again, and then finally after a little of this it will go to 500 rpm, oil an battery dash lights flicker and she cuts out.

any ideas, kinda hoping peeps in this post no what i'm going on about, sorry for posting on your thread mate, hope you can help though.
