My car has just died on me going onto a island and i nearly had someone go into the back of me, i dont have a clue wat is wrong with it every time i put the clutch in it looses all of its revs and when it keeps the revs is is trying to die on me!!!

Idle control valve would be my guess

Clean throttle body and ICV tommorow.

How do i do that mate?

Plenty of threads already, do a search and you'll see.

I only know how to do it on a 172 ph1. Remove the throttle body (held on with 4 star screws and renew the gasket when you put it back on) and unclip the throttle position sensor, clean it by spraying it inside with carb cleaner (protect the electrical connector from the cleaner) and use a clean cloth to dry it. To clean the idle control valve, take out the 2 10mm bolts and unclip the connector, spray inside with carb cleaner and dry using one of those cotton bud things. You might want to spray the inside of the ICV with WD40 and let it drain out before refitting. Also make sure your air filter's clean.

Hope you get it sorted.

Cheers

Coils mate this happened to me yesterday, i got it towed away to a garage and they fixed it!! my did the exact same thing

Ta rob for explaining - I'd deffo try that first!

Good luck with this as it's the low cost fix option, but the coils also sounds a possible reason.

Theres no ISCV on renault engines with an electric throttle! Only the cable varients have them as with an electric throttle the ECU just opens the throttle to provide the same feature.

Yeh try coils as it sounds as if its misfiring but its hard to tell from that video.

How do you know it is electronic bud? Or are the dynamiques all electrical?

iirc all the D4F engines (1.2 16v) are electric throttle whether they be in a late Ph1 or Ph2->. All the other engines are cable in the Ph1 and electric in the Ph2->, its obvious to spot as theres no throttle cable going to the body.
