Ok so I'm still having problems with my Punto 55SX. I've been through the forum and found all the topics where pepole have had the same problems. But in those threads people seem to off solved there problems with what's been recomended.
The threads are:

So to expalin the problem once more, when accelerating in any gear, mainly 1st and 2nd, the car losses power and then cuts back in a second later. The car also has low revs when the enginee is turnd on, hot or cold.
I've been through all the checks mentioned in the other threads and replaced parts.
Spark Plugs
Ignition Coils (both of them)
HT Leads
Air filter
Checked Battery.
After doing these, the car seems fine for a day, but then the problem comes back. The car has been to Fiat 5 times now trying to sort this problem out. Fiat ran a diagnostic check and came up with a few electrical faults which were sorted there and then. The car has also had a new pump put on (which did needed doing as the pipe had completely snaped off) and a new Piece of hose somewhere as it had split. Can't tell you excatly what the parts are cause I can't find the car report.
After these parts where changed, the car ran fine again for a few days before the problems started again. The car then went back to Fiat who then changed a Relay to see if that sorted the problem which didn't. Once again a full diagnostic was done and no faults where found. I even got them to check the Lambda sensor as this has been mentioned in the aboth threads, but that checked out fine too.
The only thing left that Fiat can think of that might be causnig the problem is the ECU. Now this will be expesnive to replace and I'm kind of thinking it's not worth it on an 95 M reg car.
So does anyone have any ideas what may be causing this problem as it's driving me insane and make me look like I can't drive!! [xx(]
Help please.
Punto 55 SX all in black... That's my bitch!
