Default Low idle and cutting out

Just changed my dump valve, took car for a run, sounds sweet but when stopping the car the tick over is very poor and then the car cuts out.
Any ideas?

Is it a adjustable one? If it is, the setting my be too soft. Took me many miles to get mine just right.

Iain

You could give up and stick old one back on.
Alternativly i would try the other two supplied springs see how you get on.

I put the old one back on last night - needed the car for work today,
but I will try the other 2 springs and see what happens.
Not adjustable.

Cheers
