Good day
My fiat stilo 1.6 16v has a idling problem. When starting the car after you been shopping or a while from the car and pulling out a parking for example,the car would idle extremely low and when you try to rev it,it will carry on idling low ie the revs won't go up. The car wont rev. Sometimes when you try to rev it will eventually come right. Sometimes I must switch off then on again then its right. When keeping the car at a rev it will hunt. (It will drop a few rpm and then back up and repeat) when driving it will drive smooth at times but sometimes it will hunt as well as explained above. At times I get a fuel smell and very very seldom a back fire. The car does not accelerate like it use to. Feels sluggish in 1st to 4th gear but at 5th its abit better.
I changed my fuel pump and cleaned both oxygen sensors. I have a cone filter on but it not a perfect fit. My box filter fell out when pulling out the driveway and cracked so I used that in mean time. Come to think of it,the car never done this before the box situation and started this problem after changing the filter.
I have a engine light on but was on before the box fell out. I just about have enough money to pay the car and can't even afford a diagnostic reading so I relay on all advice i get and perform easy maintenance myself.
My car is on 220 000km.
Any help and advice to what the problem is would be greatly appreciated thanks.
