Hello all.
Yesterday I filled my panda up £30 quid in. Was fine for about 10 mins until I stopped at lights on a hill. I first noticed the engine popping as though there was a misfire, then when amber came on I got ready to set off and the engine cut out and would not start. I eventually got it started but it sounded like it was running on 3 or cylinders. There is also a strong smell of petrol, she's running a little better now but misfires, there is a definite popping sound coming from the exhaust and a lack of power.
Now I have changed the coils, leads and plugs, cleaned the throttle body and it was running fine until I filled her up. Prior to this, I have been getting flat spots and dipping revs at idle after giving gas. Just seems strange that this has happened before on a full tank.
Has anyone had anything like this before?. I have read and looked and found similar stuff but nothing definitive.
