Default 1.3 escort, over feuling, or not getting air??

Lo all,

Unfortunently my escort has struck again (i think its time of the month again). when it drops to lo revs, say for a roundabout or even a junction it stalls or sounds VERY unhappy. I had a look at it and when u drop the hood back down it stalls!!!! A friend advised me it may be underairing (is that a word?) so i removed the air filter, and it still does it, so i removed the top of the air box, and it seems fine, but i cant imagine tht driving about with no ait box wil be to healthy.. can someone help, my car is a 1.3 hcs (single point injection). cheers in adv

a very unhappy Whisp...
