Car Forum / Fiat Cars / February 2004Uno 1.1ies - acceleration problems
Symptoms: foot down hard on accelerator, you hear the engine rev well, but the car does not accelerate. It will only do so at relatively low revs. Sounds like the car trying to "catch up with the engine". Worse in 2nd and 3rd gears. Is this a timing problem? Any advice gratefully received. > Sounds like the car trying to "catch up with the engine" Sounds like a clutch problem, if so, trying to accelerate up a steep hill should also result in lots of revs but not much acceleration. In effect the engine is reving but it aint getting through the clutch to the wheels. > Is this a timing problem? Timing problems are more pinking - too advanced. Sluggish no power - too retarded. Apart from timing mixture, over rich or too lean, can have a similar effect to timing. > Symptoms: foot down hard on accelerator, you hear the engine rev well, > but the car does not accelerate.
