I seem to be having problems with my Punto 75SX (1994).
When I first start it seems to run OK, but then the revs drop and rise again several times.
Once I start driving along the road, its as though somebody is messing about wiv the throttle, in that the power goes for a while then kicks in wiv aggression. Occasionally when I have been driving for some time (engine nicely warmed up), when I pull up to a junction or roundabout, the revs fall to such an extent that the engine sometimes stalls.
The Cylinder Head was skimmed and the Cam Belt changed 8 months ago but all was well until 1 month ago. I have had the Fuel Filter changed, and done the Oil, Oil Filter, Air Filter & Plugs myself, with no change.
Although its running a bit rough, it still returns 43MPG+ (47MPG last week).
Does anybody have some idea what is causing this? As I can't really afford "£ FIAT DEALER PRICES £", but will buy Leads or Coils if this WILL fix it.
Thanks guys and catch up wiv ya soon.

Looks like none of you surfers/readers and so-called Fiat Friends dont know how to sort out my problem. Guess either your too thick to help, or just too damn rude not to reply merely with some much-needed support.
Oh well it looks as if I dont "Fix It Again Tomorrow" (FIAT), I'll most likely have to try a possibly more reliable "First On Rubbish Dump" (FORD) again!
Oh well thats the fun of owning cars I guess!
