Default Still stalling....but at least it restarts

Hi All,
B18U 440 1.8i

OK a few hundred miles or more, a week in a garage and this is the result.

Fuel pump was shot, giving low pressure after running for a while.
So replaced the fuel pump and
Also the distributor cap and rotor arm, water temperature sensor and air flow temp sensor.

Now it starts on the button and runs fine whether hot or cold BUT...
it does the stalling between gears or stalling completely thing as described by others here.
I have cleaned every electrical connection I can find - twice!
I have cleaned the jet
I have cleaned the flywheel sensor
I have redexed the fuel.

So the car now starts and drives but does this stalling thing between gears, but always restarts fine and idles fine.

Back to the electrics then?

I have checked the idle control motor and it seems to be functioning correctly - a new one is dealer only at £116.91 - I've already spent a load on this car - do I want to spend more? Its only worth £500 anyway!

One good thing - it passed its MOT.

Any more suggestions before I take to a scrap yard
