My 04 Punto (1.2 8V) seems to be affected from this highly un-usual hot weather the UK is experiencing - after all it always rains in the UK .
After getting the engine hot and normally when starting after a stop (say a visit to Tesco's) the engine is somewhat erratic and idle becomes unstable. Occassionly the engine will stall with the RPM varying between 500 - 1200.
It is also noticed that the engine idles at say 1200 RPM when restarting hot.
When revv-ed the instability seems to disappear while the throttle is depressed.
I'm sure this didn't happen during the winter months but I could be wrong, and it did get through the last service (the expensive 2nd one) with no problems reported by the dealer.
Anybody got any ideas prior to getting it booked in at the Fiat garage.:worship:
