i have this problem also (on a 16v engine), cuts out without throttle on initial cold start, however it idles fine after about 30/40 seconds of keeping the revs up, it then settles and idles fine. Also once the engine is warm, will start and idle ok first time. not sure how blind i am being…but where/what exactly is the aux air valve? Thanks.
A lot of the 16v conversions don't fit the aav or iac so you may not have either fitted… (aav is off the mk1, iac is off the 16v).
aav is at the back of the manifold on the off side (rear left as you look at front of car.
