engine not taking gas?
Fiat uno 1.1 s.i.e. (FIRE engine) build 1992
1st of all i'm dutch and no mechanic, but i do have a fiat uno with a lot of trouble.
the car does not take it's gas (or so it seems)
the car is used for long distances (300 km and 300 return)
it started with the fact that top speed was decreasing and the car accelerated slower, many months later the top speed reduced again but now during the trip.
in the end the car did not accelerate but started to de-accelerate with full trottle. in neutral gear the engine finailly sprung to live. i could drive home. but as soons as i stopped accellarating, the car would de-accelarate (even in full trottle). the last few km (in city ) the car jumped, either not responding to my accelarator, or jumping to full.
after the engine had some time to relax and cool down. it was very hard to start. it makes funny plopping / poofing noices. (i'm dutch, hard to translate a sound)
as soon as the engine does take the gas, it runs normally. But sooner or later the engine will stop. (in a minute)
What can be wrong, in the past year these parts where renewed sparkplugs have been renewed, all filters have been renewed, new battery, new alternator, new starter engine, plenty of oil, long distances driven.
