    clio 172 running fault

    New poster! (less than 10 posts)

    After my first set of laps at Mallory at the weekend i returned to the paddock to find the car was finding it difficult idle.

    I checked all the levels and pipes and continued to ring its neck around the track all was good .

    Now im back home in sunny devon the car seems to still be having problems

    If i coust the car to a stop the revs seem to fluctuate several times between 200 & 1100 rpm before comming to a stop at about 900rpm and thats if it dont stall

    Any one got any advice!
