Default Amal valve

Got a problem with my amal valve , when my cars idling when its warm the amal valve start clicking like mad . Ive tried a new valve and its got a new Ryan Loom . Im running stg 3 on an L8 ecu . The clicking stops when the revs are at 1500 but as soon as they drop below 1200 it starts chattering again . The problem is driving me mad but its strange as it doesnt happen all the time .
Any advice will be great , thanks Travis .

Something must be telling ECU to do it, have you got any diags out of it?

How is your ACT sensor?
