Strange problem

Hey guys

I just fixed my idle up a bit yesterday and it ran fine for awhile. It doesn't bog down at various rpms or have a rough ride anymore, but when i turn my headlights off the car will drop rpms and then stall.
I was wondering what would be the cause of this and how to fix it.

Thanks guys

The idle set screw needs to hold the unloaded idle to near 750.
If that's too low the BAC can't always make up the difference.
ABV comes open with PS, AC & headlight switch operation.
My guess is the ABV was helping idle air flow just enough to keep it running.

Plug in the initial set jumper & reset the idle set screw. If it's already full open, then close it down half way and reset the throttle hard stop.

Thanks for the response.
What connector do I need to jumper?

Where should the screw be, I have mine almost all the way clockwise just enough to keep it running. When i had it more open, I would get unnecessary bucking and bogging down and very poor throttle response.
