Forté's Technical Helpline receives over 300 calls per month. This blog shares solutions for garage workshops on common driveability concerns that can be quickly and effectively treated. The vast majority of those identified are caused by fuel and oil borne contamination formed by natural degradation or via the combustion process. This is a fact of life for internal combustion engines where fossil fuels and oils are used.

Problem with a RENAULT CLIO 1.2L 1997 92k
Engine cutting out intermittently, suspect fault due to contamination build-up on throttle body and idle control valve.
The fault was cured by removing the throttle body and idle control valve, applying Forté Valve Cleaner to the components and allowing the product to soak for 5 minutes. The vehicle was taken for a road test after refitting the components with the engine performance restored.
Thanks to Ben at Fields Car Centre Ltd in Woking, Surrey.
