Hi,
I have a 98 punto 60 and it's great. The only problem is that some of the time the damn thing won't start. I've tried loads of solutions from changing the starter, changing numerous amounts of batteries to tightening the Fan belt. If I change the battery today it will start perfect for a while then it's just like the battery has died. The other day it started fine, I drove to college and when I went to start it again it just turned once and that was it. The only thing I could see was that I left the indicator switch in the on position. I'm always very careful to switch all electrics off as this usually helps the problem but I didn't think this would have any effect on it. As I have said I have tried alot of possible solutions.
1. replaced the starter.
2. replaced the battery.
3. tightened the fan belt and checked to see if the battery was getting a charge.
4. checked for loose connections on the battery.
All of these seem to have no effect. I don't know what else to do. Funny thing about it is that it will start with the smallest push.
Is there anyone out there who has encountered the same problem and successfully got through it, or can anyone suggest any courses of action.
Please help.
Dools.
