May have spoken too soon JJ! Took it for a drive from cold start this evening and while generally a lot smoother and idle was much better than before, still stalled a couple of times when pulling to a stop. Once when popped into neutral to recover a stall, it surged without any throttle and coincidentally had a 'sulfurous' smell. Also threw a CEL.
Will see if I can download the code this weekend and will start a new thread if it's nothing obvious. Curious if whether it's related to the MAP sensor or NSS codes I pulled last time, or possibly transmission - when pulling to a stop it's almost as if the torque convertor doesnt slip.
Replaced the thermostat to get the operating temp up to where it should be - Thankyou Autobarn for having the correct gasket. Good excuse to go for a spin - eyes on the gauge the whole time.
Also Replaced the Fan Belt, both easier than I thought they would be.
