Technical My dear Uno won't start...

[puttekula]

The engine is "chewing" but no ignition.

Recently changed:
* Distributor cap
* rotor
* Spark plugs
* Ignition coil

The uno have been hard to start sometimes but not very often.

Engine chewing propably means it turns over slowly. Might be battery with too low voltage.

I was gona say battery as well. Dont assume something else is wrong without checking the more obvious things first.

Some people have recommended me to check the fuelpump, could it be that?

 

[Dunc Uno Turbo]

Duncan, that's only on the high-end motors. We can hear it on the Strada Abarth aswell, but on a regular Uno, you need NASA dog ears to hear it.

Well, i did find the problem!!! Both cables were broken in the distributorhousing! This happens to Fiats i've been told by an fiatmecanic.
