Quick back story. Been off the road for around a year, started every now and then, first time every time.
Took it down for a MOT, started and ran spot on on the way there and during MOT, never missed a beat. On the way back she was warm so i gave a couple of little blasts, pulled fine, no miss fires etc. Got to the end of the street and it cut out. Starts with a little throttle but wont idle, again runs fine under throttle, just very low idle and stalling. Changed plugs and still the same.
Any ideas? Since it worked fine for the MOT but not now its got me baffled!
Thanks in advance.

Sounds like the icv is stuck?

Come on people think! Engines need four things.
Air
Fuel
Compression
Spark
You've said its fine with a little throttle, so when you are adding air. Answered your own question! As said above, iscv operation is your issue.

Got this running now guys, is still a bit rich and is showing code 21. Ready to order a new Lambda / O2 sensor, should sort that out.
