Escort Cosworth Idle Problems

What could cause this drop down in A/R ratio when idle drops down? I did nothing with the gas paddle!!

Could be the Lambda Sensor.
I had similar problems and it turned out to be this.

Make sure the P8 has had a reset done,

Check and adjust the base idle with the ISCV disconnected,

check the ECU voltage is stable, and check the lambda function as mentioned as a starting point.
