Not a problem, more one of those niggly faults that keeps you awake at night !

I have a 54 fabia 1.2 12v. My wife has the same.

My car will only start and continue to run if you blip the accelerator immediately the engine has started, otherwise it stalls ( and then is an absolute pig to start !!! ).

My wife's car starts and runs without having to touch the accelerator.

I have no fault codes and once started runs excellently

My wife's car has code 17511 but also starts and runs excellently !

Any ideas ( preferably ones that involve little or no money - I'll put it with it otherwise )

Thanks

Maybe the starter motor is on its way out and isn't able to crank it enough to get it going properly? I'm not sure how easy it is to swap, but maybe you could swap them around between your two cars to see if that fixes the fault?

Starter is fine. Turns over nice an quick. starts in a fraction of a second. BUT if immediately after starting you don't blip the accelerator it dies.

This sounds like the issue i had on an audi some years ago.

If the engine is feeding excess fuel, ie it thinks it is colder than it actually is it will either start imediately, or it will flood. On my audi i resorted to putting a switch in the extra fuel injector electrical line

so it only ran when i needed it, and it always started perfectly afterwards. I doubt if this is possible on the Fabia with modern electronic controls.

I suspect you have a similar issue with more fuel being supplied than needed.

That was my next thought, perhaps a dodgy temperature sensor leading to over-fuelling, but this ought to cause trouble with general running, not only when starting?
