My fiesta had a service in February,And now I think its slowly going to die. its done 16,000 and its a 2008 so its not high mileage/old. its a 1.2 and when its all warm it splutters and the revs flutter up and down between 800-1200 and the whole car shudders. It goes fine, nice and smooth just when it gets to idle its like its going to cut out but doesn't.I do have a bit of a heavy right foot have I killed my baby? any ideas? confused

If you put an area in your profile then someone may know a reputable local indie, as fault diagnosis at MDs can be slightly expensive smile.

Could be any number of things - air leak on intake side, idle control valve, o2 sensors etc etc should be relatively simple/cheap to fix if you take it to a decent/trustworthy garage

Idle control valve or air leak possibly. A sensor would probably bring up the check engine light.
