I have an 02 Bravo 1.2 and am having problems with a lag when accelerating. I have searched the forum but havent come across any solutions so wondered if anyone could help. Being about as untechnically minded as anyone could be it might be something simple.
Under about 2500rpm the engine stutters as if its going to stall and causes a lag that lasts for a few seconds or until its picked up more rpm. It happens through the gears, so it feels like its almost stalling even in 5th.
The engine management light then comes on, sometimes flashing sometimes constant, depending on what it feels like.
I have tried using redex in case its something to do with the fuel system but its actually made it worse and it seems to be worsening every day.
Has anyone any ideas before I either push it in the canal or give my life savings to a fiat garage,
Cheers,
MH
