Car hot idle's only when it wants to !

Im loosing faith in these cars !!! my T2 only idles somtimes when i come to lights. it stalls 30 % of the time. its quite annoying cuz u always havto watch it, city driving, and when i have the music on somtimes i dont even notice it stalled so i put the foot to the floor and it doesnt go im like wtf ! and then its flooded and wont start. once i had to get out in the middle of an intersection and take out the fuse it was rather embarrasing. anyone know how to make a fuel cutoff switch ? or pages how to ? thanks

Sounds like a vacuum leak. Is your BOV venting to atmosphere? Whats your base idle when at normal operating temp?

did u try adjusting the idle at all via the BAC screw? my T2 would have a low idle or stall at some intersections...but i turned it up and now its fine again.
