Dies on initial start ups
Discussion
When she is first started she idles then fades to a stall.
No issues when actually driving,generally holds idle in traffic.
But when parked up and return,she idles and dies.
Dont understand,checked and cleaned stepper motor,and even tried another one but no joy.
Yesterday she stalled and then struggled to start on turnover,left for a short period then kicked up
Help please

The 'extract' from a document below has the issues i have at the moment
What Are the Symptoms of a Faulty Mass Air Flow Sensor?
The engine stalls soon after starting.
The engine drags or hesitates when idle or under load.
The engine hesitates and jerks during acceleration.
The engine hiccups.
The engine displays unusually lean or rich idling.

Paul's spare AFM sounds like your next step.What Are the Symptoms of a Faulty Mass Air Flow Sensor?

Hi,
I had very similar starting/stalling at idle issue.
I checked and adjusted the base idle which cured my problem.
I removed the screw altogether surprised at the amount of black oily/carbon crud I cleaned out of the screw hole.

Bear in mind you have had a full engine rebuild and a high lift cam fitted, you may need a remap of the ECU to get it running spot on.
When I changed the injectors, AFM and fuel reg on mine it required a remap - same issue as yours, wouldn't idle properly.
Still to try the spare AFM(work getting in the way as usual!!),but comments noted..When I changed the injectors, AFM and fuel reg on mine it required a remap - same issue as yours, wouldn't idle properly.
Changing the AFM doesnt seem to have solved anything
Was messing with plug lead connections on dizzy yesterday,dont know if coincidence but engine note changed and seemed to hold smooth idle,but tried that agin this morning and no joy.
Might just try and change the dizzy cap for the sake of it,with a new Lucas unit ans see what happens
