Morning folks.
2009 Fiat Panda 1.1 Eco.
So been fiddling with my car. I've checked wires, cleaned connectors, sworn at it, and it seems to be running fairly okay now ... except ...
In 2nd gear, 20-30mph you put your foot down and its like its running lean so you just hit a wall. If I step on it in any other gear, at a similar speed, no problem. But 2nd gear, 20-30mpg like hitting a wall.
I also got a few low idle issues , like the car wants to die out (not too sure as I have no rev counter). So I've no idea what to check.
I'm thinking sticky idle control valve maybe. As the air box has been loose for a while (fixed it mind) so some gunk might of got in there. Also get occasional O2 sensor code come up but not had that for at least a couple weeks so no idea any more.
Anyone got suggestions on what to check or try?
