hi

recently i have been having trouble starting up, at first it was just happening first thing in a morning when the engine was cold but now it even does it even when the engine is warm.

the engine turns over but it just wont fire. usually if i try it a few times it will jump into life but its getting worse.

any ideas?

thanks

Do you have the Yellow code light up on the dash at all?

Hi

Yer it lights up when i turn the key and goes off when the engine starts i think

it lighting up and going off means the Immbo is seing the Correct Key
IF that light stays on - it thinks it trying to be nicked - and stops it starting

If the Light Does go out When the cars done itself test on start up

then Onto seeing if fuel is getting In
and is there a Spark?

When was the last service. By the sounds of things I take it you're a complete novice. If the car has been neglected in the servicing department, there could be a number of things need replacing on an old punto.
