   After a bit of advice if anyone can help me out.
   
   Girlfriend has a 99 Vtr and she has been having problems starting the car when the engine is warm, starts fine when cold.
   
   She has also noticed a lower idle and the car is stalling quite often.
   
   Any help greatly appreciated, probably a common thing not specific to Saxo's, someone has mentioned temperature sensor?

   Could be the coil pack or the idle control valve

   My mate had similar fault and it was the o2 sensor in the exhaust, could do with having the fault codes read to be sure instead of guessing
