Recently when on idle and the full beam is switched on the car will stall.
It will also sometimes stall at junctions when the clutch is pressed.
Any ideas what it could be?
dirty isv?
also just to add that the idle is stable otherwise and when i connected the hammer it was 840-880rpm
clean ISV
hammer adaptation
steve wong chip
coils
fuel filter
fuel tank cap
check for induction air leaks
there is probably a few more that I forgot ... . you can search my old threads ... after trying everything, I then tried the easiest option last .. the hammer adaptation ... problem solved.
My recent experience with my ISV is cleaning it helped, but when it's cold(meaning winter time) it searches for idle until it's really warmed up. Now it's been much warmer here (actual air temp) no issue at all.

As per Chakka's suggestion above it might be worth giving the battery a charge up, do a system adaption and then try it.
p.s. anything else we should know like do you have LWF?
Battery is charged up as i have a ctek connected to it at night.
Done a few hammer system adaptations as i have a hammer.
As far as i know it does not have a LWF but it had a clutch change at an OPC in 2006 (56k miles) mileage is now 112k miles.
Went out for a drive tonight and it seems to be getting worse in that when driving at slow speed below 2000 rpm it will just cut out, it will start back immediately.
Could it be an intermitant coil problem.
Primary coil is a silver can that was changed in 2000 and the secondary appears to be an original from new (car is a 1990 model) black can.

this sounds like more than a simple idle bump/stall like many have experienced.
but you might like to describe the problem in more detail. do you mean when the clutch is depressed? or just coasting along the engine loses power? what is the significance of 2000rpm? so the car doesnt stall if you push the clutch in when the revs are at 3000rpm? confused. anyway .. dont answer these questions .. just start again and describe accurately.
