Can a leak in this cause the engine to cough on idle?

Nope.

Hmm. I had to pay the dealer £72 for them to diagnose the idle cough as this leaking pipe. I've taped it up as a temp fix and it's still coughing. I guess you're right that it's not the cause. Don't want to be ripped off for another hours investigation.

Coughing on idle

Anyone experienced a slight misfire on idle? Coughs every few seconds but nothing noticed when accelerating.
Apparently coils and plugs are ok. No fault codes found when on diagnosis machine.
Dealer says it's a leak in the plastic pipe from the airbox to the turbo, but I've sealed that up and it still coughs.

Ideas?

Sorry it's a 1.4 turbo T-jet in an Abarth SS

I get this on my m-jet too, but only when cold. Seems to go away once warm and no hint of a misfire when accelerating even when cold.

Bump!!

i get a (air intake tempreature sensor none functioning using fiat scan and OBDII
anyone knows how to fix this?

Is the (air intake tempreature sensor) not the MAF? You could try running it with the MAF off for a few days.
