I have an K reg Uno 1.0ie with the following prob.

Starts ok, runs fine, short runs no probs.

After a run of say 20 mins continuously ie not stopping at lights etc. when you take your foot off the accelerator to slow down and release the clutch the engine slows down and stalls. It starts again easily.
If you sit at lights for a bit and then pull away and stop at the next lights the engine does not stall - it's only after a run it plays up???? and then not always.

All the normal stuff has been checked, plugs, ignition, fuel etc. It's been to a Fiat main dealer and been put on the diagnostics without success.

It's a good little car except for this pain in the a..e problem - any ideas anyone?
 
Problem on mine solved by new distributor and most importantly, vaccuum advance unit.

Hope that helps - it's a common problem on uno 1.0ie and I always give this advice and 90% of the time it seems to solve it.
