I've got a minor problem with the car occasionally stalling at idle.

Sometimes the car is idling at 1,100 and other times as low as 400 and so stalling.

I've seen reference to an idle screw, is this it? And is it as simple as winding it off a tad? Or is it more involved with the ECU?

I can't really see from that photo but from the variation you are seeing it is something else.

Plug a laptop into the ECU and make sure all is well, I would suspect a Lambda sensor is getting lazy.

Thanks, I did think lambdas but was being lazy. Just downloaded the software and then order a cable to see...
