Stalling
 

I recently purchased a 1.0 saxo and after having it a few weeks the car is intermitantly stalling at junctions when i come to set off the engine doesn't always stall some time it jst idles incredibly low and if u accelerate the car will stall. anyone have any ideas as to what this could be thanks most appreciated.

poor clutch control?;) sorry mate had to be said! can you give more details does it idle ok when you start it what rmp is it idleing at?

Ermm deffo not me lol well it starts fine dono wat it's idleing at no rev counter but sounds normal to me

it could be a million &1 things but id start with Idle control valve you can read the guide to cleaning it here http://www.saxperience.com/forum/sho...d.php?t=174710 or get a new 1 from fleabay or a motor factor

What sorted mine is cleaning ICV and changing lambda.

Try a service 1st, new plugs, air filter, and clean the throttle body. Cheaper than replacing every sensor till it works and theres a 80% chance it will cure it.

this could be true as ive stalled my car a few times try putting a few more revs on whilst stationary then lifting the clutch ive found my car pulls off a lot smoother.

I've come to a conclusion as to when it's doin it, every time i start the car hot or cold it's with in the first minute of driving then it's fine seems odd but it's rather annoying :wacko:
