Fiat Fiat Seicento 0.9 899Cc 1994 Throttle Body Single Point Injection Unit
Hi, Got a problem with my Seicento. Driving along fine ( engine is warm and been driving for about 15 minutes) and stop at a T junction ( on a slight rise). Engine stalls. I try and start, nothing, engine turns over fine but will not fire, as if run out of petrol. I put more petrol in, still won't fire. after about 45 minutes try again, after copious amounts of trying, engine fires up, runs perfectly fine for maybe 20 - 30 seconds or so, stalls. won't restart
RAC(breakdown) man takes the Single Point Injection Unit apart, we turn over fuel pump is working fine. Try and start again with the cover off.
After maybe a minute of turning over on the battery - injector seems to backfire a couple of times , then nothing but the engine turning over - good job I've got a good battery !
I was towed to my garage who can't diagnose the problem. his only solution is to replace the entire Single Point Injection Unit assembly and see if that works - if I can find one 2nd hand that is from a scrapper, that is!
Has anyone else had this problem and has any idea what it is ? - car was fine, then cut out on a run and won't restart.
Problem getting spare parts and I may have to scrap it,if I can't resolve so any help would be appreciated. Loads of Punto Single Point Injection Unit's for sale on web -Are they the same as in a Seicento? Seicento ones seem to be as rare as hens teeth !!
Thanks
