As some of you may know I run a Seicento Mpi but my girlfriend's 1242 Mpi Punto has been struggling & juddering since Christmas - particularly at higher revs in anything over 1st gear, especially under full throttle applications so I swapped plugs, did the cam cover leak & an oil change hoping the plugs would help. The clutch then packed up completely so I hoped that it may all have been a result of slipping badly.
I don't drive it regularly & she continually downplays faults saying it feels like things are fixed every time I try something (I think that her sensible low speed driving masks the issue as she barely revs the car) :bang:
I have put a full tank of fuel dosed appropriately with Redex through the engine with no improvement so I changed the leads the other night & the car started stuggling to start, requiring high revs to stay running & then cutting out, swapped them back & it has continued cutting out so I am at a loose end
Am aware that it is likely to be fuel filter/pump, coils or injectors but need a professional to help diagnose which (have a qualified mate coming round tonight to try).
We have a baby on the way as well as having absolutely loads of ca$h to shell out as we have no choice but to move house so I have a few questions for anyone that may be in the know - I have a load of old parts from my original Seicento that was written off a while back so...
Does anybody know if the injectors on a mk2 1242 mpi punto are interchangeable with those from a 1108 Mpi Seicento?
I can't convince myself if the noise from the pump priming is loud enough 'cos in my Seicento it is really noticeable, is there definately no way of cleaning/replacing the filter in a Mpi fuel tank other that a swap of the pump, & if so does anyone know if the pump from my Seicento Mpi can be used.
Are the coil packs on my Mpi Sei interchangeable with the Punto?
