Hi all,
I've recently purchased a 2003 1.6 16v stilo. And I've already grown quite attached
I bought the vehicle from a guy who hadn't used it in a few years. I gave it a full service and all was fine, I knew about the problems these cars suffered with throttle bodies and where the car had been left standing the battery had died! So I know a reset would be needed!
After attempting the reset a couple of times I'm still having no luck, the car drives fine and had a steady idle on start up but as soon as I blip the throttle fluctuates and will either jump back to idle or cut out!
Basically I'm looking for anyone near me in north Herts with and Examiner tool who (for a fee) would plug it in and reset the throttle position and perform an update if needed!
Many thanks
Lloyd
