Hello!!! little problem with my lurvly Punto

[meems]

Hello, so glad to have found this site !


Maybe someone has Had a similar problem…
I have a 2001 1.2 Punto (known as Mia) it s got about 45000 miles on it and a small while back when i accelerated it started to choke slightly and the light on the dash went on (the one with the engine)
So being a girl when this passed I thought nothing of it…and it s still happening ofcourse more then before L

This happens nearly every time I accelerate/ well when I start of in a gear (mostly 1st and second…occasionally third)

I know I ve gotta go to a garage ASAP cos that’s what the little book in my car said but I would love to hear from anyone who knows what this could be or who has had a similar problem…

Thankyou Fiat lovers!!

Sounds like you may have a fueling issue or a missfire. May be an O2 sensor fail or plug leads. My Punto did the same and a new set of HT leads fixed it, but mine had 105,000 not 45. Garage should plug in a scan tool and check the codes on the ECU.

:yeahthat:

get codes read. it could be many things, so rather than stabbing in the dark, best to have it diagnosed.
