nice looking moter that. Soak the ISV in carb cleaner and try cleaning out the throttle body and idle screw with the same stuff. check the crankcase breather too. It worked for me.

Lovely car.. Stalling sounds like the ISV definitely.  Clean it out and when you think it is clean ..... CLEAN IT AGAIN !!!!

Fixed my idle problem and smiling from Lands End to Sydney :)
