Default 2wd idle problem

I've just bought a 2wd saff cossie and has one small issue when i start it it will idle perfectly no missing or hunting at all but when i pull away and come to a stop or push the clutch down the revs drop really low(some times cuts out) and then rev up and settle and it will then idle again perfectly until i pull away and come to a stop again.

is this an air leak problem or should i clean out the iscv??

any pointers would be great.

cheers,
Phil

Check your CO, sounds as though it may be a bit lean, the fact that the idle speed changes says the valve is working ok, also may want to check your base idle when hot.

no need to reply just found a thread that answered my question.

should have done a search in the first place instead of being lazy.
