Hi,
Not had my punto long and below is the problem am having: -
I am trying to get the the bottom of the problem with my punto its currently not idleing correctly, using £20 in fuel within 2 days going only 10 miles or so. It shows 35mpg all the time on speedo and engine is not running right it sometimes nearly stalls when setting off and dont have much power.
Below is what I have done so far: -
Anyone have any ideas?? I was thinking of draining oil taking rocker cover off cleaning anything found e.g gunk if headgasket had gone before i got it.
and same with sump then engine flushing and putting new oil and filter on again.
Thanks in advance for any help

Below is what I have done so far: -
- oil and filter change (when putting new oil in it seemed to take forever for the oil to go down on each small ammount i put in i had to wait for the funnel I was using to empty)
- spark plugs replaced.
- ht/ignition leads replaced.
- had exhaust checked it has a new cat. back box sounds noisey but no holes.
- thermostat
- air filter
