Idling need attention

[Steve VB]

Any idea on tuning a 1.2 Bravo SX 16V. Idling seems a little lumpy and a tad high.

possibly the idle air control valve... that controls the amount of air that is drawn into the engine when its idling. If it is sticking or faulty it will not be allowing the correct amount in, causing the revs to flick up and down as the engine tries to get the mixture of air and fuel correct.

Idling

Thanks for that.Might just be me and the fact it's probably been sat around the auction site I bought it from for a while. It had little or no oil in it and the water was very low. Seems to run ok anyway, well on the trip home anyway. No servie history with it so will get spark plugs canged and look through manual to clean ICV. I'm no mechanic so will have to wing it.
