Georgie_x Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Hey guys and girls, I've had my new lupo for about 2 weeks now and I love it but there's a slight isue:My engine intermittantly drops the revs down to around 2000rpm and jumps back up and then won't go above 3000rpm in each gear. My EPC light doesn't come on. Normally when I turn the engine off and back on again it's okay again for a while, but it's still doing it. It also has a habit of cutting off the engine (normally while stopped). I'd be so grateful if anyone has ant ideas on how to fix it or what it is - cause I don't want to lose my lupo!!!! and it's a bit dangerous!Georgie x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon5 Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 First port of call would be cleaning the throttle body if I were you. For the sake of a fivers worth of carb cleaner its worth a shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
