As above I've been searching this for about a year but I'm still yet to find the cure!

Just lately when i start her up and rev a few times the revs just dont want to go up and very rapidly fall to the point of near stalling! Never had this problem before. Also I was sat at the traffic lights the other day and it just died on me. started back up fine and no problems after!

Finally sometimes after coasting around a corner in second gear i then accelerate but with no response from the car apart from it bogging down and occasionally stalling!

My 2001 furio has had two diagnostics tests, the first one showing the temp sensor was knackered, the second one showing nothing wrong.

Got the temp sensor replaced but problem still persists. Also gave the car a full service about 6 months ago but still no joy.

I really hope someone can help me as I'm tempted to get rid of my beloved saxo!

Cheers

try cleaning the idle control valve

seems to be the problem with quite a lot of cars stalling and not idling properly
