Hi All
I have recently bought a low mileage 2001 Fiat Bravo 1.2 SX, which
has proved so-far to be reasonably well behaved apart from the horn which
seems to work when it feels like it – although a big hammer and some swearing should sort that issue out.
My only real observation is the car tends to follows no cold start protocol, straight from 1200rpm on starting to about 850 in about ten seconds, is this normal behaviour for this model – should this window of operation last longer?
I have given the car a mini service, replacing all serviceable parts, and even cleaned the throttle housing. The car still idles from cold in the same fashion.
Is this simply a case of its working okay, nothing to concern myself with, or is this like the Coolant Temperature Sensor not working as it should, it has never stalled or failed to start and the dash has shown no faults.
Any comments would be helpful.
