Idle control valve - its around 100, but you can clean it.
Do a search on the forum - you will find it

On the 1.2 variant, the air flow meter is often the culprit. About £90 to buy off teh shelf, but FIAT SMART laptop is needed to reset parameters.

Look for an idependent specialist. Where in UK are you?

my car runs normally now, no cut outs and doesnt even idile below 800. Does anybody knw how this could have happened?

Perhaps put it down to being "one of those things".

My HGT's starter motor used to "sreach" in the wet, but nver in the dry, also, the driver's door used to "bounce" open, only in the wet. How queer.
