Purchased used 2015 Panda 4x4 Airtwin Turbo 0.9 (supposedly S&S?) with 52,000 KM this June in Italy, where I live.
I've been experiencing this in the mornings now that it's colder in Rome: I start the engine, the motor idles roughly (slow "rhythm") and hesitates...this morning for the first time the engine idle slowed until it stopped. I started the engine again, put in gear got the car going and it was fine. After about 5 minutes of driving the engine temperature went up and it seemed fine. If I turn off and park and come back after an hour or two it seems to start OK.
Some ideas of my own: the S&S has never worked since I bought it used. If I put the car in neutral while I drive in traffic whether the S&S button is off or on seems to not change anything. I mention this because somewhere I read this S&S not working could be related to the battery state, and the rough idle could also be related to the battery state perhaps? I don't know... Another idea is the spark plugs, which I have no idea when or if they were ever changed. Other than that, not sure what could be the issue. Next morning I will take a video.
Anybody else experience this or know what maybe could be wrong before I take it to the mechanic for oil change? Thank you.
