Technical Stilo 1.6 stalling

[abarth_178]

I have seen that this has been a common problem on the 1.6 in the past , but my Stilo is brand new , so why have Fiat not cured this problem. Has anyone had it fixed. If so how? I can normally jump in any car and get used to it in minutes but this Stilo requires real concentration in traffic to keep it from stalling.

Cheers Chris

Could be ECU needs reset/callibrated or throttle body problems,I have changed these on stilos with less than 1000miles on clock!
There is also a ECU update for 1.6 engines (pressure sensor from memory?).

See now i didnt realise this was a problem...

I've had mine a few months now and am still stalling occasionally at lights unless i pile on the acceleration...

Drove a Bravo 1.6 before that and never stalled it!!! I thought it was just me ajusting to the car, but to still be doing it a few months on is a bit suspect.
