Thanks for the reply. Yes it starts easy, no problem there. The temperature gauge seems to be working normally too. I'm at a loss as to why it takes so long to perform properly.
Thanks for the reply Ziggy, I have however found the issue. After trawling through many threads and posts I came across one about the MAF sensor, and after disconnecting it, the car is running how it should, I want to say a big thank you to Alan for this, the car is transformed
I'm going to leave it disconnected and just tape it up for now as Alan said it wouldn't be a problem to do this. I'm so happy I joined this forum and found the issue so quickly, thanks again.
Regards, Steve.
I doesn't bring up the engine light at all. As it was before, I had my foot to the floor and not a great deal was happening. The temp gauge needed to be between a quarter and half way up before the car would perform, which could take quite a few miles to achieve.
Ziggy, take a look here https://www.fiatforum.com/punto-ii/416949-fiat-punto-1-9-jtd-turbo-lag.html you also commented in this thread. Who is right, you or Alan? Btw, not being funny
Regards, Steve.
Yeah, I might reconnect it for that, or maybe have a new one in place. I couldn't continue with it like that, it was so bad it was embarrassing on the road with cars behind.
