Most renault clios idle badly - ive got a 95 valva and mine does the same - although it doesnt cut out. Lots of people have posted on this site saying that theres do. I had a look in the Haynes (the holy bible of clio expertise) to see if i could get mine idling a bit higher than 700rpm but it said that valvas cant be fiddled with in this way - however - RTs i believe can - have you got a haynes ? - oh and for anyone who can help me, If im stopped and i start turning my wheel, the power steering kicks in (obviously) and the engine revs drop until it cuts out (unless i stop turning the wheel of course). Its as if the engine cannot provide sufficient power to keep itself running and provide the power steering......
iv got a de-cat pipe but it was fine when i had it put on.its only started to do it over the last few days
its probably the step motor(idle control motor)

Yer Im having a similar problem, mine idles all over the place it even goes upto 2200 revs sometimes, crazy! However, sometimes it will sit perfectly at 900 after the engine has been running for a while!
But its got a lot better since Ive been driving a far distance to work, the engine is getting a good run more often!
I was going to take it to a specialised diagnosis place in Preston but he wanted £40 just to tell me what was wrong and then whatever the cost of the part will be on top of it!

a 1.4rt has a idle stepper moter on the o/s of the throttle body which are quite commen for the cause of idle problems.
tiger-a williams has a idle control valve not a stepper moter.the stepper moter is a little moter that directly operates the throttle butterfly.a idle control valve is a air valve that lets a regulated amount of air bypass around the throttle body and into the inlet manifold.
