Majority of the time our FucT FiaT 1.0i.e. FIRE '93 Mk2 starts first time on the button with no problems whatsoever
VERY occasionally it will start, fast idle as normal, then without any warning slow done to normal idle speed, which when cold means it usually stalls. [usually as you try to move off]
If it has done this the only way to get it to start again is throttle to the floor and crank it till it fires up, coughs, splutters, idles slowly for a very short while, then revs pick up and you can take your foot off the gas pedal and it fast idles correctly again
The times I have checked the throttle position plunger thingy on the SPI it always seems to work OK [though not done this immediately after a stalling incidence I have to admit]
So I got to thinking [guessing] could the problem possibly be a dodgy temp sensor on the intake manifold? [or the wiring to it?]
What do you think?
Anyone else experienced the same issue?
It's only happening now we have cold weather
As it was starting perfectly fine all summer/autumn
