I've been a forum lurker for a while and after owning a mk1 & mk2 punto, both 1.2 60sx, I decided to bite the bullet and get a 1.8l 16v Brava!
So far I'm in love with the car, it has 70k miles and it's top of the line, feels like a limousine and drives like a charm. The only problem is it sometimes doesn't hold idle, especially at startup. It stalls almost immediately unless I rev it slightly, and occasionally it drops down to 100-200 revs and revs back up to 1000 erratically on it's own so it doesn't stall. The problem seems to go away randomly while driving but sometimes reoccurs when coming to a stop. It was garaged for 4 years before I bought it and the previous owner said it never happened before.
While having a closer look at the engine bay I noticed an unplugged switch hidden under the fuse box, but I can't for the life of me find where it goes.
There's also an error code 54 on the dash if that helps!
Many thanks in advance
