my old 899sx did the same. Definately check the MAP sensor as there may be fuel in the vacuum line which is causing problems inside the sensor. if this is the case, u'll need a new sensor (£50+ from fiat or free if you can pocket one from a scrappy).

If you do need to replace the sensor, check where the pipe for the sensor connects to. If it connects directly to the throttle body, plug this part on the throttle body and get part no: 46417610 from fiat (£3-4) to resolve the problem. The part replaces the brake vacuum connector and allows the Brake vacuum and MAP sensor pipe to connect together and will stop the MAP sensor getting petrol in it. The same part 46417610 can also be found on a 1108 intake manifold. does the same job and i've got one spare if you need it.

Apart from that, check the connections to the ignition coils, you may have one loose connection and the car may be firing on 2 cylinders and will struggle to idle properly.

check out https://www.fiatforum.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=3641 and https://www.fiatforum.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=3474&whichpage=1. sounds similar. See my posts on the topics above, the first topic is for a sporting but the pic of the throttle body is identical to the 899 sx model. Let us know if these help.

P.s.
