But if it's reconnection the enginne stalls, could it be a split hose or an electronic problem ecu??

The old rubber vac lines degrade over time and so should be replaced, if you can get some 3mm ID silicone stuff as this doesn't collapse under heat.

Cheers fellas will go and buy some and give it a try

Thanks again

Where you based mate..?

Go to halfourds and buy some carb cleaner, clean out the throttle body and the pcv (black square box aswell as the breather pipes.

Also aswell as replacing the vac line to the ecu, also do the other little ones....the one under the pcv valve and the one under the manifold ontop of the head, its the fpr one.

Also try cleaning out your idle stabilization valve which is under the black plastic tray that holds the leads...spray some carb cleaner through it and if you look at one end you will see that you can attach
an allen key which if you turn /wiggle it a few times helps to loosen it up.

Can you do me one more favour so its clear, the Throttle body is connected to the manifold, looking at the photo its between the manifold and the air filter, just to the left of the blue hose,
Is it difficult to clean? does it have to be removed and put on a bench?

yes mate the throttle body is just to the left of the blue pipe, between manifold and air filter...
It's best if you remove to clean so you can clean the back properly

It can be cleaned in situ but as gaz says if you remove it then you will be able to give it a more through clean.
Easy to remove, just 4 allen key bolts and the throttle cable just unclips...if you do remove have a new gasket to hand as the old one often rips when you remove the TB.

Personally i just cleaned it best i could while still attached to the manifold.
