My Saxo can have problems 'hunting' (I think this is the term) when the engine is warm and the automatic choke is bypassed, the car will not always idle correctly and sometimes cut's out.

My car is going on the diagnostics machine this Friday, but I think one of the main causes of this is the stepper motor. I wanted to clean mine, or swap it for a new or reconditioned one. I was wondering if much mechanical knowledge was required to do this?

The garage wants to charge me £117 + VAT and labour (I assume) and I thought this was a bit dear.
