I think it was Deckchair that posted the original idiot's guide to cleaning the above.

I eventually got down over the week-end to clean mine. (well the Stilo's)

Boy what a difference in the idle. For once a simple job! What was Fiat thinking of making it so easy!!
 
I read the original guide to cleaning the inlet valve,i took the inlet piping off and looked in the valve,it looks clean at first glance.The problem is I cant seem to open it further to make sure its clean. It only seems to move a couple of millimetres,if that,I gather its meant to move more.Did you encounter any similar problems or is this the likely cause of the problem itself?:bang:
 
Also interested to know the answer to ^ ... planning to do mine tomorrow, haven't done it before. Any other issues not in the guide?
