Hi all,

Series 1 disco ran ok this morning, now i start it, it will usually idle okish to start with (low) but then dies, seems to rev out ok, just dies at idle, revs just drop till it stops.
My guess would be air flow meter or something like that but thought somebody may have some hints.

Check the vac hose with the 'T' going to inlet. OPen plastic 'T' and clean out this and hoses etc.
Try again.

While you're at it clean any soot out of the intake plenum around the butterfly. That normally helps on mine.

Thanks guys, i will give it a go tonight or on the weekend.
Sounds like what your descibing could be the cause because apart from dying when no throttle it seems to run fine.

my 97 v8i did the same thing not long after i bought it.

ended up it was the ignition amplifier module.

ran fine from that day on until i sold it...
