Plenty of fuel.

Came off the forty foot, accelerated quite quickly and POP from the exhaust. Took it back to the garage and they said to take it in tomorrow, also that the last time it was misfiring it was the HT leads on the wrong cylinders, im pretty damn sure they werent, plus they told me it was a dodgy spark plug. Although gonna see if a mate is busy tonight and take it too his garage tonight.

Well goodluck mate, My punto has it's head off the engine, the 8th valve is broken (4th cylinder exhaust valve)

Got some new HT leads and all 4 cylinders were working, but the fourth is rough as hell. Hiring an engine hoist in a few days, taking it all out... cleaning up the bay - respraying parts. Polishing up the ECU and brake servo etc.

Fiats are bloody hard work :(
 
I hate them. I can guarantee to get one at least once during my working week.

My grump. BMWs. Why would somebody buy one. Ive borrowed my dads all week and nobody even acknowledges your there. They just trundle along at 60 in the lane that actually belongs to the car im driving. Please can i have my Lowly Fiat back :worship:

Turned out that one of the (NEW!) HT Leads had a hole in and was arking. Dont think I kept the receipt either, will have a look tomorrow. Wouldnt be suprised if the new coil pack failed aswell soon.:rolleyes:

Problems with new parts too? A new wishbone from Fiat surprised me the other day, when I took it off the car the bond between the bushes and arm was non existant, left to freely rotate in situ..... Not impressed (n)

Yep, first was faulty NGK spark plugs which made me buy a new coil pack and some injectors from Dave as when we tested them for spark they all worked, go figure:rolleyes:.
