hi. my punto 1.1 has some strange starting problems.
when cold, or just after i have used it, the engine starts up well, on just a couple of turns. but if i use the car, leave it for an hour or two, then come back to start it, the car will turn over for quite a few seconds before it starts(which seems like forever when its making that sound and shaking the car!!!). i am worried that one day it might not start at all when this happens.

has anybody got any idea to what this could be??

many thanks.
 
hi, my car sounds a bit rough when it starts, but i think that could be normal, ive heard a few other punto's that sound the same, but i was thinking the same as u, even though mine does always start, so i took it to a garage and they said there was no probs with it. You could be better taking it somewhere before it gets worse....;)

When I first had mine it would do this a bit, completely randomly wouldn't start at all from both hot and cold. Other times it started fine.

I can't tell you what it was because I changed virtually everything of consequence. :) I think it might have been the leads or sparks, they hadn't been done in ages before I took delivery of the car.
