Brava 1.2 16v 2000 Engine Problems

[Ian Crofts]

Hello,

This is my first post after looking for some advice

Recently, i have brought a fiat brava 1.2 16v.

But after driving for about 10 minutes, the car seems to have a bad idle and stall when i come to a stop.

Also while driving the vehicle the car has poor acceleration and struggles and splutters..

when the car is in neutral the car revs to 2000 rpm, then loses power and drops to 900 - 600 rpm and then engine struggles and stops

I have recently changed the spark plugs an Crank sensor...

I have no engine lights come on either..

Starting to lose my nut with it,

So any help would be greatly appreciated

Regards
Ian

I would first check inside the throttle is clean and the connections to the throttle position sensor and idle valve are OK.

stalling at junctions/coming to a stop is a typical lambda sensor fail.

also try sourcing a new/used TPS.
