ENGINE IDLE IRREGULAR

1.2 8v

The engine is not running smoothly when idling; in particular, it does not maintain a constant, regular value as the load varies (e.g. when electrical devices are switched on).

0	PRELIMINARY CHECKS	All OK	Problems met	Operation
		Results of the tests
	Preliminarily check: the state of the spark plugs and leads; the condition of the air filter the condition of the air intake circuit	Continue to Step 1	Spark plugs dirty or defective	Replace the spark plugs Op. 5510D10
