Hello,
My name is Alyson. I am very new to all this.
I have a got few things to ask as I am not very good with cars and I have got few things wrong with my car.
I have a punto 55 S and it is hesitant under load at low Revs. And I have a miss fire when the car is cold. (I have had the sparks plugs done).
I don’t know what to do really. Dose anyone have any ideas what it could be and what I could do.
Thank you
Alyson xx

Hi Alyson and WELCOME TO THE FORUM!! :wave:

Your 2 problems are almost certainly linked. How old are your HT leads (the cables going from the spark plugs to the coil pack)? The insulation on these break down as they get old, and they arc against the engine block meaning you get a weak/ non existent spark at one or more of the spark plugs, resulting in a misfire. This often occurs when the engine is under load as the HT leads are also put under more load. There are several things it could be, but they are the most simple to look at to start with.

Hope that helps,
Alan
