Hi a very good friend has just baught a beautiful M100 Elan. He is a bit of a "project" car buyer, so I was pleasently surprised when I saw what good condition the car was in.

There is one problem, under 3000 revs the car wont idle, it hunts and stalls.

The previous owner has tried everything. The head has been skimed, new turbo, new crank sensor, new coil and even a new loom.

Any ideas what the problem could be and suggestions on how to solve?

TIA

I'd be looking at the idle bypass or idle air control valve myself... would be the first place I'd check anyway.
