Hi.
My sister got this 2016 0.9 TwinAir 2 cylinder Fiat Panda. Nearly impossible to find any data on this engine, as most Panda and 500 owners has the larger engines, often with turbo as well.
It has had this issue on long drives in high speed, where it will start to misfire and loose power. Fault codes varies between p0300 and p0302 and at some point it will completly disable cylinder 2. If the engine is turned off for 2 minutes, then she can drive a little while again. It takes at least an hour on the motorway before this happens. City driving is fine. Also outside weather makes no difference. Cold, hot, rain etc. Oil level has been checked and I also replaced the oil and filter a few months back.
I started just changing the spark plugs and coils. It only has two cylinders anyway, but it did not solve anything. Then someone said that the fuel pump may get overheated during long drives. Don't have anything to test something like that with, so I took a shot and just replaced it. But again, nothing solved. I have checked the PCV valve and it seams to be working correctly as well. I am more or less down to the fuel rails or some intermittent electrical issue with a wire getting to warm, but to access the fuel injectors I need to get the MultiAir block out of the way. Does this thing need anything speciealized to get it back in and working again after removal, or is that a safe thing to do? As I said, I can't find any specifications, drawings etc. on this engine. I know how the MultiAir system works in theory, but I have no visuals of how this thing look on the inside. I do know though that I could end up with starting problems, should oil be drained from it.
