Default air leak?

my r.s.t runs fine when driving,or when its cold,but when sitting in traffic for a few minutes the idle drops right down and will stall if sat for long enough,ive replaced all the plastic pipes on the breathin system,but no luck,is it metering head?or can i try anything else?

Inlet manifold gaskets, brake servo, vacuum pipes, the list is endless. Is your fuelling ok?
