Hi Mitch69 and welcome to our forum!

Was it like this before you did these parts? When was it last serviced? Don’t go too far till you have sorted the ignition / timing problem as you will prob. be looking at a new Catalytic converter (cat).

Kind Regards,

Hi Again Mitch,

I’m new too – to moderating.

:devil: I don’t mean to pick on you - But our other members may well be up in arms re. Text Speak. – If you want help from people whose first language isn’t English please use full English https://www.fiatforum.com/showthread.php?t=17940&highlight=text is a good one to reed.

I’m dyslexic – the Psychologist tells me I have a spelling age of 13 year old,

so I find typing the post in MS Word helps iron out my mistakes. I then copy the message and paste into the Forum post.

TBH I’ have a reeding age of 12 (so I’m told – But I’m really struggling to interpret your last posts.


That aside, What’s the Fuel filter Vacuum advance like?

You might want to check the mixture...might be running too rich. One way to check is to pull one of the spark plugs out and check condition. If the plug is covered in soot then the mixture is rich...if plug is white/grey then the mixture is too weak.

another angle to investigate is the fuel pump. Inspect the condition of the relay situated near the battery. On my turbo the relay was slightly cracked allowing moisture in. Check contact inside and replace relay if nescessary.

If you check Haynes manual http://unopower.davemarc.co.uk/unomanual.pdf for other possible causes.
