I have the most frustrating problem with my car which over the past four weeks has got steadily worse despite four trips to the local garage! Problem is that it just won't start, turns over no problem at all but won't fire and then suddenly anything up to 1/2 an hour later it will! He put in a new crankshaft (I'm sure that's what he said but people have said no way), a new sensor and coils. Every time I pick it up from the garage "fixed" it starts first time (yesterday pm) then last night when I go to leave work, nothing for the first two turns and then starts, at the gym same thing, at Asda same thing but this morning.. spent five minutes before I had to leave to walk to work. Lunchtime I tried for a couple of minutes and it wouldn't fire then at 1.50 I decided to try again (muttering to myself that I was wasting my time) and it started first go!!!! Of course when I switched it off again it wouldn't start. Veeeeeeeeeery frustrating. It's booked to go on the diagnostic at my local Fiat dealer on Tuesday but I just wondered if anyone has any ideas?
