I wanted to give an update on my idle problem, since I like to find the resolution to problems when I do a search in the forum.

A while ago I posted a question about an issue I had with my Disco I. Basically the problem happened when it was warm outside and I have been driving around doing errands. I would go to start and the engine couldn’t hold idle and eventually died, unless I gave it some gas. It did not happen at stop lights, just when I started it.

The problem was the stepper motor (IAC valve), when I pulled it out it was completely cover with carbon. I soaked it in some throttle body cleaner and cleaned it all out.
Problem fixed.

Glad you reported the fix.
I also hate open ended posts.
