I’ve just bought a 61 plate fiat punto evo which runs fantastic most of the time. However, there is no acceleration after coming to a stop at a roundabout or sliproad. Always after motorway driving. This is sporadic and doesn’t happen all the time. Engine still ticks over but nothing from the foot pedal. I have also noticed the occasional idle revving.
Once I restart the car and revv it, everything is fine and the car runs perfectly.
- new fuel filter fitted
- switched away from supermarket diesel
- DPF deep cleaned
- no engine warning lights
Today I did get a ‘check glow plugs’ indicator.
Have had previous indicators of “hill start unavailable” and “esc unavailable” twice now too. But they go off once the car is restarted.
The team at the garage affiliated with the dealer are trying to help as much as possible but with no dash lights or error code it’s proving difficult.
I’ve only had the car less than three months.
This has all happened over about 3000 miles, whilst I have been trying to drive it as much as possible after each potential fix.
Any advice would be great.
