My girlfriends 1993 899cc Cinquecento keeps stalling when cold. It's
ok when driving but at lights and junctions when you put it in neutral
it will stall. As soon as it gets warm its ok.

The temp gauge was all over the place so I replaced the coolant temp
sensor which fixed the gauge but not the stalling, anyone got any
ideas?

Have you had the engine tuned?

My old Punto after 3 years would feel like it wanted to stall as you
went around corners, .. I had to push the clutch down to stop it
stalling .. then took it to a normal garge and for less then £20 they
tuned the engine and the problem went away and I got a lot more miles
per gallon as well as the car being a lot quicker! .. so tuning it paid
for it'self in fuel savings.
