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

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
