Sometimes when i start my abarth from cold it gives mad kangaroo jumps wheneva i touch the pedal, and it gets worse if i lift of. the only way ive found 2 get round it is to floor it in 1st and second for first few hundred yards and that seems 2 cure it. i tried going slow or waiting for it 2 warm up but neither worked. any1 else had this prob, or know of a cure?

Hi, I think the general consensus here is "coil packs"!

Maybe try an advanced search for 'abarth', 'kangaroo', and 'coil', since your exact words have been used many times before Remember to limit the search to the Stilo forum only.

the engine management went down a while back and fiat replaced the coils , didnt cure the jumpin starts. r well the search goes on , chrs
