Hi everyone,
Just joined this forum in the hope that someone can give me some idea's what is going on with my Fiat Bravo Trofeo (W-reg). I'm no mechanic I'm afraid, so my descriptions are bound to be limited!
I'd noticed a few days ago that the power to accelerate would disappear when driving (scary at junctions / roundabouts etc). Seemed to happen more often from cold than when the car had warmed up. No warning lights seemed to appear so far when this is happening.
Also over the past couple of days I've had problems with starting it. It sounds to me as if the engine isn't firing up because there is no fuel getting through. (i.e. the starter motor seems OK and I've reciently got a new battery plus it doesn't seem electrical) If I leave the car for 5 or 10 mins and try again it seems to work again. (like when it is flooded but it isn't... honest!)
I hadn't noticed any warning lights to give me an idea of what could be causing this problem, but today the car wouldn't start and I noticed that the fuel Injection light did not go out after turning on the ignition. Again after leaving the car for about 10 mins the light went out again and the car started.
Any help and advise would be welcome
Thanks all
