First port of call for stalling problems is to clean the IACV with carb cleaner. Red arrow in this pic

mate, mine was doing pretty much the same. If there are no codes coming up and it cant be pin-pointed I would do the normal clean the breathers / everything else and new plugs leads and coil pack. almost guarentee this will fix it. i would also do the heater valve at the same time since they are cheap enough and youve got to take it all apart anyway, its not worth your sanity not to do it all!....

i would say that it probably is plugs and leads after taking the plugs out today they were full of an oily sludge and the plugs were rusty on the right hand side so im assuming the rocker gaskets gone one of the plugs even snapped off as i was undoing it so it looks like ive got a hefty bill for taking the head off to remove the plug but thanks for all the replies
