Hello guys.
I'm new to the forum and hope you guys can help me out with a seriously odd problem. My punto seems to have developped a strange behaviour on idle which makes it rev around the 700 rpm mark (both when hot and cold) which in turn causes the car to vibrate markedly. It feels and sounds as if only 3 cyclinders were going, but when I rev it everything sounds and behaves normally... On the move I haven't noticed any change in performance and/or fuel consumption, to further complicate things. I've also tried several mechanics but to no avail since the ECU isn't spitting out any fault code and I dont' want them changing bits randomly since that could become quite expensive very quickly... I've being searching on loads of forums for people with similar problems but have failed miserably so far... Have any of you had a similar problem? If so, do you know what the cause is? It's frankly irritating and makes me feel sick when sitting in traffic, just to give you an idea of how much it's shaking. FYI it's clearly visible from the outside of the car too, so it's a significant vibration! :bang:
Hope you guys can help!
