SP20 wont idle when hot.
 
After some info if anyone can help.
My SP20 will start and idle perfectly from cold. Its drives fine. Once I stop and leave it and then go to drive again it wont idle at all just dies straight away. If I keep the revs up it will drive fine but if i put the clutch in it dies. I've changed both coils, leads and spark plugs. I even swapped out both coils with a spare to eliminate the chance i got a dodgy one. I've also cleaned all plugs and MAF.
I'm out of ideas..... Has anyone had this issue before?

Cheers in advance

crank/cam angle sensor

Thanks
I cleaned both sensors, Cam angle sensor was fine but crank sensor had a large build up of crap so I was hoping that was causing fault.
Went for a drive this morning but still wont idle. I'll order a new crank sensor tomorrow. Looks like the hardest bit of replacing it will be routing the cable down the side of the engine (very tight).
I'll update on results.

Turns out it was the MAF. 200,000km with a K&N had allowed a build up of filter oil that caused it to not pick up airflow at idle but would when extra accelerator was applied. 1/2 a can of Contact Cleaner and its good to go. I had given it a quick spray earlier but hadn't had a real close look.
