Just noticed this thread. asking, is the car efi or carby? If carby, there is an electric idle cut off solenoid in the body of your carby. If the wire is off or the solenoid is shot, there's your problem. Obviously, put the wire back on or replace the solenoid which is designed to stop fuel flow when the ignition is turned off. prevents the engine running on. Wire off or solenoid dead has the same effect, no fuel at idle but if you pump the long black pedal on the right of the brake pedal, enough fuel is delivered to keep the motor running

I have a KHII TX3 and it is now having the same problem when you rev it out a bit and let go of the accelerator is stalls and doesnt idle properly could this be due to the same problems, thanks
