Clio idles too low and keeps stalling any help



  Clio 1.4 1999
well as above on tuesday i came to start my car as i was going to stay in my brother's. I packed my up clio and started it , i moved off and stall.I started it up again and stall, did the same thing again and again. I ended up keeping accelerating it to reverse back home. I came to start it today and it was idling fine moved off and it was fine got a few hundred yard and it was idling to low so i thought not to risk it and went around the block, and it stalled again. :banghead:
Any help would be appreciated
cheers Al

when you turn it on, does it bounce up and down loads? does it just happen when your slowing down to turn the corner or just at any point? does a light on the dash that look like a coil come on?

so does it cut out?? or is it simply that the idle is too low??
if the idles too low, it should barely affect you driving somewhere, just means you have to rev it in traffic,

try giving the throttlebody a good clean,
and perhaps change the idle control valve??

Similar-ish problems i had with mine. Replaced a few dif things but it ended up being an icv which i bought off renault

Sorry for the late reply. ICV is the idle control valve. Very common on my car. Unsure if its as common on your model though
