Hey! I have a strange and interesting problem with my Punto mk1 '95 (1.1 petrol, 176.B2.000). This weekend I made a 200km journey (100km there - 100km back). On the way there very often happend the next thing: driving normally... then a slight hitch or two, and then I was pressing the gas pedal for nothing, the revs where coming down. Having no choise I was stopping and the engine didn't stay idle. The rev counter was on that little suport needle, and the engine struggled to stay on. I turned off the engine, waited 2 minutes, and then it worked fine another 2-3 km, and then the story repeted it self endlessly until I reached my destination, for 100 km. At the destination I stayed for about 15 minutes, then headed back home. On the way home all was perfect, nothing went wrong ... a little odd I would say.
I mention that the same simptoms I have when the petrol level reaches below a quarter of a tank, but then I just fuel up and it's all good. When I left this weekend I had a nearly full tank.
If anyone has a clue about what might be wrong I would really appreciate it!
