Last week my 2004 1.2 Punto Active Sport died on me I was on way home from work when after 1 mile it started to lose power (totally cut out) then run ok, this went on for about another mile or so till it came to a stop. Would turn over ok but not start. Checked for fuel at rail but dry, could hear pump prime with ign on but no fuel. Removed cover under seat @ pump and fuel press ok. At this point I got towed back to a colleagues house who has diagnostic equipment so while he connected this I checked a few other things (connectors etc) all ok. The equipment came up with a P0345 crankshaft position sensor (I'm not convinced), cleared that and it started so drove it 10 miles with no problems. Next morning non start again but no codes and same no fuel @ rail. Done a couple of things & the last thing I done was disconnect charcoal canister pipe that goes to fuel rail and car starts no probs. It lay for a couple of days as I am on call and use works vehicle, came home today & guess what? Yes non start. Tried disconnecting canister hose again but no joy. Would have done a bit more tonight but rain stopped play will resume tomorrow if anybody has any ideas.
