Default test and tune

need some insight on my old kyosho, i've got a .15 turbo in a rampage pro, it had a really nice low rpm idle at first, now it doesnt, i got to keep rpms higher to keep it from stalling, also, once it gets up to running temp it dies.
i really like this motor and dont want to buy a new one, it has good compression, maybe the fuel? im runnin 30% nitro though it, or the glow plug? any thoughts or comments would be helpful, im new to the nitro thing.

Try new fuel and plug to start with.   Have you given fuel lines, carby and needles a clean to see that they are not blocked ?  No air leaks ?

when my enya would stall after a few seconds at WOT, she was too lean - so I wound out the HS needle further than I normally would, and tuned from there.
