Technical Help! 06 Punto stuttering!!!

[stephenwills]

Hi,

I'm hoping someone on here can help, because my local Fiat dealership are as useful as a chocolate fire guard!

My wife's 06 Punto is as faulty as the next one, bonnet catch won't release, hand brake locks on, alarm doesn't work etc, BUT recently it has developed a new fault!

I'm sure this will turn out to be common to Punto's, but when driving (especially in snow, fog or rain) the engine management light starts to flash occasionally, then suddenly it seems to lose power and feels like it is struggling before lurching forward again. It's a bit embarassing 'mid-overtake' I can tell you!
It reminds me of my Ford Cortina when I put the choke down too early!

Any thoughts?


Stephen

You need to post on the grande punto forum really, we only go up to the mk2b here. I'd take a look to see if coils and HT leads are all secure and good connection, as a start. Could be many things though!
Bonnet catch should be an easy fix! Good luck

Some MK2B's were '06 registered, though.

It is a MK2B, that's why I posted on here
