Default Problems with a S2 stalling

Just had a call from a mate. He's having trouble with his S2 stalling. It will only do it when its idleing!" The engine will be running fine and then it will just die like someone has turned the key does anyone have any ideas....? If you try startin the engine again, it will fire up fine. I am completely stupped

Wouldn't an air leak be a constant problem....? the engine runs fine and then randomly just stalls

an air leak can show no symptoms when driving,it just wont idle with an air leak
check all boost/vacuum hoses also check the brake vac hose,there renowned for cracking splitting and leaking air
