Default 3dr stalling problem

every now again, although its getting more common now , the car will just stall, it happens when i am driving along and then i have to come to a stop and i put my foot on the clutch the revs come down as they should but sometimes the revs just drop right down and the car stalls . Anyone any ideas?

No it fires up ok. Someone has told me told check the idle speed by removing the iscv plug and adjusting it, it should run at 850 rpm with the iscv unplugged and the engine warm, feeling lazy today so will do it tomorrow, but i'll let you know how i get on
