clicking relay & loss of power
It was several months ago, and now my problem is back again-came as unexpectedly as it went away back then. I haven't been able to pinpoint the solution. In fact usually there is no significant loss of power, the engine sometimes even tries to increase rpm, which results in a cut-out and hiccup. Everything else is perfect, idle, starting an so on. It happens when keeping the accellerator slightly depressed.
I tried disconnecting things, and came to a state when it doesn't happen.Either I have to disconnect AFM, or Idle Actuator. I cleaned AFM ( the magnetic stripe inside as well) and sprayed the Idle actuator inside with compressed air-this was all I could do without removing it.No good.
Anyway, next week I will have the car connected to an Alfa tester which I hope will shed some light on this mystery.
For now IAC and AFM are the first ones to blame, though car doesn't show any othe symptoms of them beeing faulty.
I found some more posts decribing more or less the same problem:

BTW, which model is Your car ? It seems to happen mostly on 24V cars, but mine is 94' 12V Euro, which uses the same motronic 1,7
