i dont know if this will help you but had the exact same problem on a cav sri, slightly older i know but on the injection side between the manifold i had a diaphram/vacuum unit [metal pot thing!] i changed that & it cured it, you might be lucky if the setup is the same ;)

2 x small allen key bolts n pop it of (take care of gasket) fill with wynns carb cleaner and leave for 1/2 hr then empty & flush with wd40 and refit ...
use the wynns and a lint free cloth to do the body aswell opening the flap manually to get right in ....

That's what I expected Kris! ;)
Usually when an engine starts cutting out at low revs it often means dirty or blocked components, and what often sorts the problems out is a major service, with plugs, all filters and of course, oil, along with a good clean out of anything that can effect the performance. In the old days this included the carburetta, distributer and points which so often cured all ills. :y
This approach still does, especially when you do it yourself! 8-)

Airflow Meter?
try cleaning it carefully with carb cleaner
