1.2 brava running badly

[marina]

hello i have this brava with a year and the car (1.2 brava) is running badly lately, it seems to stall if you put the foot down and then go. it also idle's badly (it seems to hunt for the idle speed) not noticible on rpm meter.

Get your air idle control vavle changed ( or well Cleaned)

mine did the same and drove me mad - the garage scratched their heads in dismay but this forum gave me the solution.

Faulty air idle control valve on the 1.2 16v

Let me know how you get on

Certainly something to do with the throttle assembly but the 1.2 is fly by wire so darn complex.

Might be worth chatting to a fiat garage, its probably just got something sticking in it.
