Idling

Hi Guys,
Got my car running and when i first start it up, it isnt perfect but it idles without stalling and seems to settle. But then when i rev it a bit, it finds it hard to settle back down and ends up stalling?
Running a omex 600 ecu. As your all geniuses, just posting to see if this is a quick fix on the settings or rolling road job!
Thanks
Ed

im no expert
what throttle bodies are you using have you checked for any air leaks are you using a airfilter

maybe spray some wd40 around the manifold if it revs a lillte you have a air leak
other than that i dont know
i have not got that far with my zetec yet

Using original ford throttle body, No air filter as yet, picking one up at Detling is the plan!

Try richening up the sites below idle. If it is idling at 1000rpm richen the 800rpm site.

You could check the TPS is behaving properly. Sometimes they don't return properly (dodgy spring), which could explain those symptoms.

Just a thought.
