Here is an additional cause of the erratic idle / stalling issue I had.
I removed the engine to replace the insulation, detail, paint the fan, ...) over the summer and all ran great afterwards. When the weather (here in NH) started to get colder, I had occasional fits of stalling / rough idling.
It turned out to be the throttle cable length. As the outside temperature dropped, the metal cable experienced "shrinkage" which in turn caused the microswitch to no longer make contact. A quick adjustment of the coupling under the car solved my car's problem.

One thing that Adrian mentioned in his book also, was the resonance flap being stuck in the 'partially open' orientation. You should hear it cycle when the key is in the 'on' position prior to startup if the vacuum line is working properly.
