I wonder if anyone can shed any light on the problem with my Punto.
I have a 2001 5 dr Punto ELX 1.2 8v. Over the past month or so I have had problems with the car sort of kangarooing. A visit to the local dealer revealed a 'fuel mix' problem. They cleaned the fuel system and it worked fine for a week or so.
The problem has continued until today when seemingly driving effortlessly at about 70 mph suddenly the car gave a surge, kangarooed and then starting sounding like an old Volkswagen with the power of a small lawnmower.
Honestly, when approaching a junction it was like trying to pull away in third, despite being in first gear. I made it home though (much to the frustration of other motorists behind me!)
When the ignition is turned the light for the EOBD is now constantly on.
Anyone got any ideas?
