Hello to everyone.
I am owner of
FIAT Croma i.e., 1995 ccm, 88 kW (120 HP), year 1988., engine ID 154C000.

First of all I must say that I have visited many mechanics in my town (Leskovac, Serbia) and nobody can tell me whats wrong.
Questions:
  1. What is meaning of red light blinking on instrument panel about half minute upon car ignition and after that continualy lighting (I have marked that with number 1 on picture)? Besides that I am curious what meaning have yellow light (not lighting in my case) that I marked with number 2 on picture (if it is important on check panel is always blinking LED for door closing)?
  2. If the engine is cold, upon starting I must hold foot on gas pedal for about few seconds on about 2000 RPMs otherwise car will shut down. After that I see that idle control valve is doing his function and keep engine running on 1000 RPMs. When the engine is worm I do not have this problem. What could be cause?
I also wanted to ask third question but I think that I solved problem. Just for someone who is interested I can describe this problem (I hope ex).
Car does not have maximum power until warming up. If I am hard on gas pedal in that period car is choking. Besides, (no meter if car is wormed up or not) if I suddenly remove foot from gas pedal (on lower RPMs) car can jerk 2-3 times. Then, car wont go smoot without foot on gas pedal (about 800 RPMs) in second or first gear.
Solution:
I removed idle control valve cleaned him, refitted and suddenly car going much smoothier.

Again salutation to all people of good will.
