Hey all
I know this topic has kinda been done to death but i have searched and cannot find anything on this specifically so here goes................

1999 Chim 400 12500miles of which i have done 2500

It starts find and idles. Once you start driving it is fine for the 1st half mile or so then starts stalling whenever you depress the clutch. The only time it doesnt stall is if you have crawled very slowly and depressed the clutch again.
With any other car i would have said this was the speed pulse into the ECU has gone faulty but im trained with Fords NOT TVR's so i thought i would put it out to opinon.
The car has been regularly serviced by TVR or approved specialist. I have checked HT leads and plugs, it has fuel but i am yet to clean the idle stepper motor.

Hope someone can help!!!
