Renault Clio

[NobbyClarke]

Hi,

My friend has a renault clio, recently it has started stalling when she comes to a standstill after driving for a distance. The engine management light comes on and the revs fluctuate before it stalls. This is more prevailant when it is cold but not exclusive to cold conditions?

Does anybody have any ideas as to what may be causing this?

Any help is muchly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Nobby

P.s. if this is in the wrong section please could it be moved ?

Idle control valve?

When was it last serviced?

It was last serviced around 6500 miles ago. where abouts is the Idle control valve located in the engine bay, i had a look at lunch but could not locate it :(

I actually don't have a clue about Clio's but should be close to the inlet mani

Bros does this except when he starts it it'll cut out so you've gotta keep revving it to drive off needs to get it serviced before he sells it but needs to keep it for now as his mondeo is getting its alternator done
