I have been having a problem my Seicento 1100 losing power when hot. It will also do it if allowed to just idle and as comes up to temperature it will stutter then stall.
Today I have exposed the top of the fuel pump and put an ammeter on the supply wire to measure the current. Initially with the engine running it will hover around 4.8a. As the engine gets hotter it starts getting lumpier. The current varies wildly from 3 to 4a until the engine stalls at 2a.
I have tried this with the MAP sensor disconnected as well.
No sure where to point the finger of blame. Only happens when the engine is up to temperature. The pump re-pressurises immediately when the ign is switched on.
Really puzzled. Can someone help please.
