Evening all.
Newbie here trying to fix my wifes punto and hoping for some advice. (02 plate - 1.2 petrol.)
The car will only start 50% of the time. Normally, when it starts, it really struggles to keep going, and sometimes even cuts out. Other times the car won't start at all. It will struggle to turn over, and stop after a couple of turns.
Ive replaced the HT leads and plugs today (as they needed doing anyway) but that doesnt seem to have helped - as it started first turn, and then when I turned off and tried again, it struggled to even turn over and wouldnt start at all.
Once it does start and gets warmed up, its fine.
I have a few ideas of what it could be, but was hoping for a 2nd opinion from this vast forum!
Thanks in advance.
