Hi

My wife has a ´99 Marea 1.6 Weekend which has served us well for two years, until now. At idle, rpm has never been really 100% stable, but several people have told me that this is quite common for Fiat.
Then it went from ok to really bad; the engine tends to stall at low speeds and the fuel consumption is very high. Rpm at idle is sometimes very rough, goes up and down.

I´ve understood that the idle control actuator might need to be cleaned. I haven´t spent too many hours working on cars in my life, especially not on Fiats. Does anyone know of any instructions with pictures describing this procedure on the internet?

I also keep reading about the "butterfly" - what part is this?

Thank you very much in advance :D

Cheers
Michael
 
Hi Michael if you have a look through the vbravo/brava section you will see quite a few posts regarding the idle control valve and more specifically there are a few where jug describes how to clean them and there are few pictures as well hope this helps and welcome to the forum :wave: (y)
