Hi guys!

I just finished the cam replacement process with my 1.4 12v Bravo and got the car running and it passed the Finnish MOT check easily.

Now the problem is that when I start the engine in the mornings (cold, -5 celcius) it idles very well. But when I push the accelerator pedal, the engine dies immediately. I have to press pedal very hard during starting to get engine on higher rews to keep it running there. The normal idle when starting without pedal is still ok.

When engine warms up it runs great and won't die when press the pedal, but idle is guite low and not the as it should. Need some pedal pumping when get running from traffic lights....

The fuel consumptions looks very high, 10 liter/100km. Is that correct? It think it is way too much. What could be the reason?


Belts new, plugs new, plug wires new, engine temp. sensor new.

Any ideas what could cause this?
Air filter?
Fuel filter?
Leaking exhaust seal?
ICV, how to test?
Air temperature sensor, how to test?
Lambda sensor, how to test?


I have the same problem with my 1.0 45i.e Uno 1990...
