Technical Starting Issues Active Sport

[Scott Duncan]

I am having problems with my 07 Fiat Bravo 1.4 Active Sport, it has intermittent problems starting in cold weather. It has been back to Fiat to have various things replaced but the problem remains. They seem to be out of ideas now, can anybody help?

Mine came with dirty injectors from the factory. It was bearable in the summer, but wouldn't start from first attempt in colder weather.

I was advised to try with injector cleaning additive. Used the one from STP and - miracle, not a single starting hesitation, even in -20 degrees.

Try it, won't hurt. You can check on STP website - it is concentrated additive for fuel injectors of gasoline engines. You need to pour it into the tank when almost empty, then fill it up with gasoline.

Hope this helps.
