I think it's controller by an ECU on the GDI engine and not a valve.

I'm having a similar problem, I'm not stalling but the idle is a bit erratic and I get a tappety noise.

I put a bottle of Cataclean in my petrol and the car ran like a dream and the tappety noise stopped. I thought I had fixed it until the additive in the petrol was used up and I was back to square one.

Let me know how you get on.
