Hello all.
I have a 1998 Fiat Punto 60 S, and when im driving - normally when going slow or changing down gears, the gear will shake and the engine will just cut out.
only thing that works when this happens is my breaks - and my outside lights stay on - if on.
I pull over, try to restart the engine and 99% of the time its fine starting up again and im on my way. Haven't had it checked out, but it happened twice today and thats why i just signed up. Normally can happen once every one or two weeks.
Only previous problems i had was i had a water leak and had to replace the water pump and cam belt. And a minor crash when i first bought it but that was 8 months ago - and didnt cause much damage.
Anyone had similar problems or know what it may be so i have an idea of cost for getting it fixed in the future. would be a great help! thanks.
