my bravo 1.2 80 16v keeps stalling on me everytime i come to a junction or a set of traffic lights!!it only seems to happen when the car is cold, once its warmed up its fine, anyone got any ideas what it could be?service is due on fri could it jus be in desperate need of 1?

thanks
 
is it idleing ok?

helppppp

the idling speed tends to dip below 750rpm most of the time sometimes stalling before i have even moved anywhere!
 
when cold it should idle at 1k plus rpm then die back when warm. whatever causes that - auto-choke! mention it b4 service
 
i did!

the car was in for a service last week and the guy never got round to lookin at it telling me i have to take it back this week but havent had time, h said plug it into a computer diagnostic programme n it will sort te problem. jus wondering if there was a quick fix i could do myself!
 
this happened to me yesterday and i fixed it myself :)
all i did was get an object that will cover the exhaut outlet, like a cd case or similar. while someone is reving the car at approx 1500 - 2000 rpm hold the cd case over the exhaust tightly allowing the pressure to build, air will escape but the pressure builds up.
thats all i did and the car is working a treat again. give it a try, you have nothing else to loose really mate

there are just some people that screw you up and dont give a damn, unfortunately i seem to have found that one!!!
 
'he never got round to looking at it'! don't take it there again
 
no luck

i tried the covering of the exhaust outlet with a cd and no luck at all! i even tried disconnectng the battery to see if restetting everything back to factory settings would work!but still no luck. Its really strange though because if i go on the motorwa for a while then come off, the car acts perfectly normal wth no problems what so ever, anybody got any more ideas? its a bravo 1.2 16v btw!
 
i'll bet that its the lamda sensor, the mech probably never got round to it cos it'll cost you an extra 40+ to plug it up to cpu diagnostics, your problems sound just like mine, although mines 1.6 i'm told the lamda sensor affects 80% of all fiat engines in the same way, plug it in and tell me i'm right, post again when you find out.
