Generally vacuum leaks will cause the revs to increase. Yours is decreasing.
Has the car always done it? How long have you had it?

Technical reccuring problem
Noticed a rattle on the air box and a new throttle body has been put on and that's when the bobbing started but when you lean on the air box runs better also the bobbing only started when down pipe on exhaust was changed but new gasket stopped the blowing from that but when you lean on air box runs right.
If the EML light is on, code read.
Change in revs when leaning on airbox might suggest a loose inlet manifold. Or even a loose connection.

Airbox is also rattling slightly but garage changed carb and throttle body that's when bobbing started and they have now realised the inlet manifold is leaking air so when they changed it obviously loosened and cracked inlet manifold and gasket. Engine light not on if don't sort gonna have to resort to fiat dealer cause taking mick comes back with same problem and they have changed all these things and realised airbox rattling and leaning on it and spraying some stop leak makes itvtickbover normally then when wears off starts bobbing again if that all makes sense lol:bang:
( so when they changed it obviously loosened and cracked inlet manifold)
How do you know theyve 'cracked it?
have you removed inlet manifold and checked.

what carb?
ithink op means TB, throttle body,
This thread is going to get interesting,
like a dog chasing its own tail.
Didn't mean cracked inlet manifold meant gasket sorry and throttle body they changed. But that's when the problems started and airbox rattle as explained above.
Thank you for replies people your help is needed glad I found this forum.

Ithink all your doing here is Gambling is that spelt correctly?
im not sure,
you is throwing money away, find a decent mechanic as your just going round in
circles here,
spray some wd40 at back of inlet manifold with engine running
if engine revs increase the inlet manifold is leaky.
this with airbox left on,

That's what happened oldhammer so guess its leaky manifold thank you that's what was explaining in round about way.
I'll sit down now and stop chasing tail lol and mechanic not charging so not moaning just annoying problem
