Hi folks, great forum, this is my first post. Hopefully you can help and I can return the favour some time.
i drive a Fiat Punto 85 Sporting,16V 1.2l, petrol 1998.
I ran out of Petrol the other day and I thought it would be as simple as topping it up and I woul dbe good to go. I have put about 8 litres in and the car wont start. If it does start it will only be fore a couple of seconds, and it only does this about every tenth time of trying. It does not seem to splutter or anythingm just starts then dies!!
Could anyone guess at a diagnosis at least.....it would be great if someone could direct me to a solution.
Thanks
Donal
