Hello there,sometime lately,more and more often,when i turn my VTS on it really struggles to keep idle and then dies in a second,if i keep the revs at 1000-1300 rpm it keeps running without any problems,sometime it just turn on with no issues.

I really didn't notice any issues with the idle,other than this,so i don't think it could be the idle valve.

The battery is in the boot and the alternator charges fine at 13.5v/13.8v.

Could be a dirty air filter? i'm quite sure it needs a good clean.

Any other ideas?

Many thanks.
