Ive threaded here recntly about my Seicento Sporting (SPI) problem. The car suddenly cuts out when idling for no apparent reason and without warning. Ive now changed the fuel filter, pluds, air filter and the problem still persists. Took it to local garage last week - they could not find the fault.
Took it to main Edinburgh FIAT dealership yesterday, and hey presto, they also cannot find fault (chief foreman had looked at it). Thankfully they didnt charge me!
Has anyone got any idea what this might be? The car seems to be better when i increase the gas to 1000rpm (it idles around 800rpm). But you cannot change idle speed on a Sei. Im now starting to think that its cutting out due to low idle speeds. Can this be resolved? It feels as though there is tiny misfires when sitting in traffic etc, but its difficult to say for sure as the exhuast is right below the seat!
I really dont know what to do next and any help would be much, much appreciated.
thanks in advance
