No idea why it stalls after a long run but is fine on gentle runs but maybe the throttle switch is dead. The test procedure has been posted before on here by me so a search could find it.

 

Your car should idle @ approx 1000rpm. Book figure is 900 but they have a tendency to still stall at that speed so 1000 is better.
