Hi,
I’ve had my Grande Punto 1.4 Active Sport for just over a year now, has had persistent cold start problem on a off for about 9 months now.
Starts fine for a week or 2 then will die a few times before running fine once warmed up, currently cutting out up to 8 times and struggling to start.
I have searched the forum for a solution with many saying map sensor change fixes this problem, I have changed the map sensor twice and coolant sensor (both Bosch sensors), new spark plugs, a new battery, new throttle body, have used carb cleaner and still no good. Engine management light comes on and off when this occurs.
I was wondering if anyone has a idea what this could possibly be?
It has now also started losing coolant probably 2 litres or more over space of 2 weeks with no visible leak under car while running or when rested either?
Many thanks
