Hi Tim, thanks for the input, here is an update, the car has now travelled some 3000 kilometers with no hic cups, although it it still has the hot start stall issue------- i will check to see if i can locate a new fuel reg though, it sounds plausible that its the culprit, as for the PCV set up, its all new, including hoses.
thanks Tim, regards, dave
