    need some advice

    hi all
    ive brought a punto gt 2 i think has the red badge the car is standard no mods at all ive had it for about a month but some little probs have occured,the car is mint and full service history 1 owner from new and was owned by a women in her fifties and has been well looked after.

    but when driving the car when i put the clutch down and let off the gas instead of the revs dropping they go up about 5 revs for a split second then come down making it like your riding the clutch,also the idle is all over the place i can start it up and it will idle about 9 revs but go down the road and stop and it will idle at 15 or 12 and stay there.what i have noticed aswell is when driving along say when i come to a junction and put the clutch down whith foot off the gas still rolling and its idle is high abut 15 or 12 revs when i brake and the car comes to a complete stand still the revs will drop to 9.

    also the fuel pump is buzzing abit load i cant remember if any of these probs occured when the pump started buzzing if its thats what is causing the problem. any help much appreciated cheers

    hi cheers for a reply
    the light comes on now and again for about 20 or 30 seconds then goes out it never stays on it looks like a injector the symbol that comes on.

    the plan is to get it between 170 and 200bhp in the near future funds permitting
    so once ive done my research on what parts i need and prices i will start to get the work done.

    if my fuel pump is on the way out can i put a uprated 1 on now even before modding the car because it will be pointless putting a standard 1 on if i need to change it to get the sort power figures.

    also where is the best place to shop for the parts i will need, i live in birmingham and looking for good tuner with a rolling road.

    cheers for any help
