Car Forum / Fiat Cars / August 2004multipla engine start problems
Hello everybody, is there anybody out there who shares the same or similar engine starting problems ? Since a few monhs it takes minutes that my engine starts running or it starts immediatly. There is no specific rule to find. Sometime it starts at -10 degrees, sometimes not. Same at high temperature, sometimes not. Sometimes the engine is hot, sometimes not. The engine control was checked and showed no problem. Fiat itself couldn't find a mistake ! It's a Multipla 1.9 JTD built in 1999.

Fuel pump was sucking air, but with luck sometimes it got a bit of fuel, started, then the pump turned fast enough to keep the fuel flowing. Which repair steps were done ? > > > Since a few monhs it takes minutes that my engine starts running or it > > > starts immediatly. There is no specific rule to find.

It dropped some diesel. This morning the engine wont start again. Some people pushed the car five meters then the engine started immediatly. Tommorow i'll visit my fiat garage and by a new one. But i can't understand, why the garage didn't find that. You can see the dropping diesel on first view. The car was there for at least two days to find the mistake. They thought, it's a electric problem and wanted to sell me a new control box ! Rgds...Dirk > > > Since a few monhs it takes minutes that my engine starts running or it > > > starts immediatly.
