Hi, Ive got a 62 plate 1.2 Punto. When the car is started it revs to at least 1500 and takes a while to come back down, which means when pulling off I dont need to touch the accelerator until i'm already in second gear.

Also when the revs are back to normal the accelerator is very sensitive, when pulling off a slight touch of the accelerator can usually sends the revs up to 2000, which makes me look a right fool. Is there anyway to make the accelerator less sensitive and also stop it reving so much when started. Thanks guys.

From what you describe it's just doing what it's supposed to do.

-it revs to ~1500 (the so called automatic choke) because the engine is cold the ECU increases the engine speed and runs it richer so the engine won't stall.

-the accelerator might seem sensible, but you get used to it, compensate by lifting the clutch a little more/faster.

I do agree that the pedals are a bit to light; whenever I'm wearing boots i have to be really careful with the accelerator, i just don't feel it through the soul of the boot.

Thanks, thought that might be the answer, just something I'll have to put up with.
