Hello Readers - can anyone help diagnose this fault:?
I have a 1600 cc petrol Dynamic, which has the Engine Fault light and is
either misfiring or running rich - the engine is not running evenly; it's
best described a 'thumping' and no 'pull' on putting my foot on the gas
pedal.
Also, I can hear the sparks being 'lost' as interference on the radio. I've
taken off the attractive cover for the engine to look for the plugs and all
I can find are the HUGE condensers that feed the plugs - no traditional HT
leads of the kind I'm used to.
Have any other readers suffered this problem and what was the cure please?
38000 miles, petrol OK - not contaminated fuel.
TIA

I had a similar problem. In my case it was a dead ignition coil. There
is one coil per cylinder and 2 have died on me now but it is a swift
(and fairly cheap) job by Fiat to replace
Good luck!
