So everytime i come to the traffic lights and dip my clutch my revs drop and then rise to about 1300rpm and it nealry stalls when it drops :/ and the idle isnt perfect ( ive taken off the icv and cleaned it) theres a adjuster on my afm could that be worth adjusting ? tbh its really annoying me now thanks for the advice in advance guys

Mine was kinda the same as this, it would misfire badly and stall at junctions, lights etc. Is there an EML on? Mine ended up being the lambda, might be worth a shot.

Is the engine temp sensor new or been replaced? They can cause running issues without a fault code.

The coolant temp sensor ? yeah it has been replaced and come to think of it it takes ages to warm up on the temp sensor in the dash

The temp sensor on the dash is controlled off a seperate sensor.

Find out what's wrong with it, don't just replace parts one by one. Take it to a garage and get it diagnosed at least.

if you're just going to replace parts wily nilly then your next bet is the AFM or lambda imo.
