Hi all, some help would be appreciated
I have a Fiat and recently the exhaust pipe broke from the middle
(near the filter of silencer) I left it running without changing it
and then I went abroad for 2 weeks and I left it parked and
disconnected the battery (I think causing the ECU to reset) then after
3 days or so, the Engine is running half the speed, jurking and
missing (it?s working only on two spark plugs)
Could there be a sensor in the silencer that caused the ECU to
function at half the power or it?s more likely that the ECU is damaged
?
If it?s a sensor, Could I disable it and reset the ECU and see if it
works?
Pls help
Thanks

How do you know it's only working on two plugs; if you are sure then maybe
they should be looked at first.

have the ignition coils checked; failure is frequent with the Punto.

NOT SURE WHY YOU disconnected the battery but anyway there's only one sensor
on an exhaust right at the front its the lambor sensor monitors the gases
from engine and it could give a rough idle ...but think its something else
making it run poorly think the exhaust and poor running are just coincidence
