Hi,
I purchased a 2001 (Y Plate) Fiat Punto 1.2 8v from auction on Friday.
When driving home the engine management light came on, solid at first then flashing.
I have had diagnostics on it and the codes were P0303 Cylinder 3 misfire.
This was followed by each of the injectors fault codes P0201, P0202, P0203 & P0204.
These codes were saved and cleared.
Looking under the bonnet it appeared that the plug wires were set to 4,1,3,2 rather than 4,1,2,3 on the coils.
We changed these over and had some success but the juddering maintained (although slightly better).
We checked the timing belt and this was fine.
After changing the discs and pads I fired it up and went for a spin round the block. As soon as I got a couple of hundred yards the flashing engine light appeared again.
I've seen a few posts were people have said that it might be the coil pack or the ECU and wondered if anyone here could shed some light on the situation.
I am awaiting a new diagnostics check and will post the details when have them.
Thanks in advance
