These are prone to sticking in the open position, too much air, so then stalls the engine. They get clogged up with gunge from the inlet manifold.

Take it off and try and clean it out with carb. cleaner.
If that doesn't work you'll need to replace it I'm afraid.
If they are still available they are about £60 if memory serves.

I'll post pics later. I'm at work at the moment!

Try this before you spend any money.
Remove the valve, clean it out, refit. See what happens.

Use carb cleaner or brake cleaner. Let it dry out before refitting.
