Default 1.4 Escort 1992 J reg misfiring and cutting out

The symptoms are that the old girl splutters and stalls at tick over, she runs if I keep my foot down. Electrics test OK. Could this be a fuel pump issue?
Tearing my remaining hair out over this. There is no smoke and when running is perfectly normal, any advice gratefully received.

Have you tried adjusting the idle screw? I had the same problem and that sorted it
