Kangarooing Fiat Bravo - Steve1969

Car: Fiat Bravo 1.4 sx 1998

I have just had my starter motor changed on my Fiat, which has been going great for a few years. Now, two days after, the car has started to kangaroo along the road. I have noticed my fuel consumption getting lower over the last few months about 7 miles to the £.

Any ideas on what's wrong? and could it be related to the starter motor change or is that a coincidence?

Kangarooing Fiat Bravo - big davey

Hi, this sounds like it could be the lamda sensor, had a similar problem last year on one. Try and remove from exhaust and clean the end up (the bit that enters inside the exhaust) with a wire brush, inc. the threads.
good luck.
