Was driving home an had lack of power sounded like it was firing on 3 cylinders it shortly after died, I did get it started briefly after but had to have accelerator pedal to the floor but just ran like poo, suspect coil packs?

Test for spark.
But it'd by no means be the first thing I'd suspect.

it should start ok on one pack and missfire. Keep foot of pedal until it runs. both packs won't fail together
borrow multi meter and test the coolant temperature sender cold and warm in place set multi meter to ohms the value you should get is in guides
then test the resistance of each coil pack same ohm test values somewhere on site or Haynes
borrow is cheap coil packs expensive
could be TDC sensor intermittent but unlikely from your description try doing it the easy way first

that would tend to give the symptoms you had......

Nah. It's a bugger of a job -- if you don't get the sheilding right you'll have all kinds of weird issues.
I'd fit new, and route it so it can't melt.
yes a repair needs to be same RFI standard and the cable needs to be cleated as Fiat intended it should not be near thr manifold
big Mick eurocarcare Derby by return post.
note the critical cleat should be on the lower cover which big Mick has as well if this has gone AWOL drill a hole for tie wrap
The TDCs don't needs their wiring vibrated

But what's the "safe" word?
Tie wraps and gag packed, thats just for the journey to the airport lol

the FIAT cleats are easy to damage if you cut two holes and thread in multi use tie wrap to bottom or top cover it is much more practical. The holes can be drilled with fine bit and opened up to a slot with swiss file to just fit the tie wrap.
have a good time
