clean out the throttle body and the idle control valve. common fault. as for the fuses, is there anything on the car that does not work??? eg. interior lamps,central locking, ciggi lighter, lights? check all the cars equipment. if it all works then thats how it is. the fuse box is universal to that model. it all depends on level of trim as to how many fuses it has.

As suggested by elannor67 , usually idle control valve and throttle body needing cleaned . But if still having problems after doing that , and its the Endura-e engine , check the the throttle position sensor (tps)/ potentiometer .

you should find the throttle body bolted to the inlet manifold with a cable attachedone side and a 3 or 5 pin plug on the other. hshould your engine be an HCS type, check the vacume hoses beloe the inlet manifold by the injectors for splits
