I've had cars stall suddenly when coils were failing. It's hard to diagnose as they can be intermittent long before they got totally titsup.
Two more things to check then.
IAC idle air control valve, controls the air supply when the throttle is closed. Might need a clean - carburettor cleaner spray.
Vac hose to servo, make sure no splits of leaks, extra air in will cause weak running.
Without having to strip it down too much, I'm using it now this week to go to Omagh (about 30 miles from me) each day.
I'm going to make a new thread about the car I'm planning on buying. But this one will likely be kept in the family for my sister's bf if he gets his driving license sorted. Because even a few months of car is worth it for free?!
That, or sell it for maybe £300? But I'll keep the forum updated.
Thank you to everybody who has ever replied and assisted me with this 2005 Fiat Panda Dynamic. I can't believe it's been 3.5 years with the car, but if it wasn't for signs of trouble ahead and its age I'd happily keep it for another ten years! Lol
I'm also planning on putting together a video summarising my journey with the Panda from October 2015 until now. Many things have changed and it's been nothing but remarkably great company throughout! Despite it's Italian nature to rattle or have the odd part fall off...
No codes! Checked it on a friends OBD reader. And I’ll check if there’s any yoghurt under the oil cap but I know oil and coolant levels were all good just before that journey began I checked them
Evans Halshaw have a few Pandas they want rid of. This one comes with optional low miles and tasteful steering wheel cover.
It's a target to aim for.
