Hello,
I have a Saxo 1.4 Furio.
When I turn the engine on, it chuckles then starts, then its fine.
Recently it has been doing it while the engine is already running, when sitting still, he my have a "Fit" and shaking.
Not only not but my revs on my car either come down slowly or stay at 20 revs, or even 30 revs at times.
If I put my foot on the gas while its doing this it will make a low hum..like its about to cut out and the revs actually go down while I put my foot on the gas, I believe its staving the engine of fuel when I do this.
But most of the time no the rev's are higher than they should and it chuckles and cuts out if I put my foot on the gas.
Also every so often my cut can cut out, not the engine that still runs, by my gas. Like if im doing 60 for example, and I put my foot down it could even cut out so its going down in fuel to the engine instead of going up like it should, then it kicks in and comes back. (sometimes)
I have started to notice power loss in acceleration, not really noticeable but you just feel it used to go fast...
Anyone got any idea's that would be great.
Maybe even a parts price for anything I need.
Thank you for your time.

sounds like idle control valve problems, they can sometimes be cleaned with carb cleaner if not new ones are about £30 on ebay

it's a small black generally cylindrical unit usually around the inlet manifold held in by two torx screws. usually made by magnetti marrelli(sp.?) undo the screws, soak it in carb cleaner and give it a scrub, refit it and reset the ecu and things should hopefully improve. sorry it's a bit vague haven't got any info to hand at the minute
