Hi
Got back from holiday. Had not used my 2007 fiat panda multijet for a few weeks. Tried to start it and it cut out immediately after starting tried several times before I got it running and then it would not rev over 2000rpm. Eventually after 5 mins I could get it over 2000 but it struggled. When engine was hot it did rev as normal.
There were no engine warning lights at any point.
The car had been out in the rain whilst we were away. Checked air filter and it was soaking wet at nearside end guess I will have to get hairdryer onto it but can’t see how any water could get into engine due to shape of air filter.
Any reasons what could have caused the problems starting and rpm problems?
