Hi All
New to the forum and allready finding it very usefull. I bought a 2002 Uno Mia 1100, 2 weeks ago. The car runs fine apart from a slight misfire/unwillingness to accelerate. My wife don't seem to complain but I find it quite irritating. It is obviously not as fuel efficient as it's supposed to be. There is also a 'noise coming from the distributor when the engine is at normal operating temp. It was a one owner car and has full service history. I also assumed the timing belt has in fact been replaced at 75k...
My question is this - is there a sure way for me to tell if it could be the timing belt that is stretched and maybe causing the noise at the distributor side. I would hate to just start on a spending spree not knowing what exactly is causing this misfire problem. Any other ideas what may cause this? Also does anyone have experience with his her timing belt broke on a 1100 fire engine and did it damage the engine?
Any help would be appreciated!
