Wondering if anyone else has had this? Had my coil packs changed on my 61 plate 500 twinair 5 weeks agao after the car stranded me with terrible running engine and a multitude of warning lights. All been well until the weekend when it seemed hesitant under full throttle and pulling away form junctions. Car was well up to temperature. Put the clutch down, kept it in 1st gear and floored the accelerator to rev it out and it wouldn't rev past 3000 rpm. Revved fine on partial throttle. Have tried this several times since with the same results. full throttle blip, clutch in, in gear, engine won't rev past 3000 rpm. If we were back in the days of carbs I'd suspect a fuelling issue bogging it down.
Car obviously going back to main dealer.
But here's the weird thing, the car does NOT do this when clutch is out and the gear's in neutral. Does anyone know if Fiat built in some weird self protect function to stop people flooring the throttle and dumping the clutch?
Cheers - and be nice to the newbie ...
