y reg Clio 1.2 every time I come to a halt ie trafic lights etc the thing wont sit at idle ,it cuts out.Dealer says Throttle body and wireing must be replaced at a cost of one arm and one leg (£650.00).Help!If I run the car like this, will it damage anything or just shorten the starter and ignition switch life.

I suspect it would be worth giving the throttle body and idle speed control motor a good wash out first. From memory these us a little plunger type motor which gets caked up on the business end with oil sludge.

We had this problem on my wife's '98 Clio 1.6, it too was dignosed as a throttle body issue though changing from Tesco to BP petrol made all the difference. It could also be the coolant temp sensor, if the ECU is not able to determine the engine temp it can run rich when hot therefore not running properly.
