New to the forum Hi
I have an idle problem on my 1200 8 valve Punto 2005 model. The revs go up and down by about 250 on warm up and also restarting after 5 to 10 mins when hot.
The Fiat dealer replaced the throttle potentiometer but that didn't cure it. I spoke to one of their mechs and he said it was the stepper motor and was a common fault with Puntos. I told the service rep this and he said it was the same thing which I know is not the case, they are 2 different parts.
I took it back to the dealers today to try and solve this problem. I got a call this afternoon to say that the tickover was ok and they could not get it to pulse on idle. This is happening every time I start the car. I told them to keep the car untill they solve the problem.
Can anyone shine a light on this problem.
