It seems to be that my automatic choke on my car isnt working, aka when the car is cold it will splutter and stall (most of the time)

could anyone give me any pointers on how to fix this

the car is a 1.0 1999 8v

thanks in advance

Sammy

Didn't know you could get a 1.0 in a 8v.

sounds like the idle control valve
clean or replace

and its not an 8v its a 12v

i dont really know what the difference between 8v and 12v is, but it is deffinately an 8v.

ive been told on many occasions, the garage that sold it to me, mechanics and even my boyfriend.

i may not be the most 'in the know' person about cars, but it is an 8v.

but thanks for the advise

get a pic of the engine, then we can advise further on what is up with it
