hello guys! I am new to this forum but putted a faith in it so you experienced owners can help me with this problem on my Bravo.
So first of all i have this car since 2005 and i did over 60k km whit it so i now every "****" and "click" of the machine. Three years ago my baby started to show some sickness. It start normal,goes normal, BUT at revs between idle and 2000 the engine hesitates when adding throttle and vice-versa if i rev it high say beyond 3000 and lift up my foot from throttle pedal it drops very smooth till 2000 and suddenly drop to idle very quick. So the critical point of the problem appears between idle and 2000 rpm. Although when the engine is cold if i tip the throttle pedal it jumps to 1800-2000 rpm instead of slightly raising. Can't get it say 1500 or just 1200 it suddenly jumps up. Like there is no between 2000 and iddle. Beyond 2000 it is normal, if i run it on 2000 and add more throttle it goes immediately up. I thought nothing special, just having week gasoline ( i am from Serbia and we have very low quality gasoline)
so i continued driving it.
Three years after the problem grows. Now runs very poor, varieting idle RPM (500-1000 when warm). When warm,it looses power and runs very poor.
So now: sparks,oil,filter (air,oil) timeing belts changed last year. Compression ratio is a little low (8,xx instead of 10,xx on every cylinder) but is ok for a 130k km car. I never drive it hard, never racing with it ,so no stress was given on the engine.
Sometimes the injector light flashes up for a few minutes but very rare time (say every 8 months ones) and never new what causes.
I have done the diagnostic and nothing was wrong with the data.
Other problem is that it heats very hard. Even driving for long distances the temp meter not grows over two lines from bottom spot. At summer it grows just when stopping at traffic light for long time,then grows to middle and a little across so the fan starts to cool down the water.
I am suggesting that the injectors are faulty because ones i had run out of gas and the machine was acting just like the problem is but very remarkably.
Not responding to throttle,hesitating rev growths and poor running.
So anyone has a similar problem or new where to start the inspection of the problem?
Sorry for the long post btu i need to be specific.
Very best regards, Atila
