Hello!
I bought myself very cheap cinquecento 0.9 from year 1998.
I was driving it home from far (about 300km or 190 miles) with no problem but when I came home I find out there was a lot of oil in coolant. Head gasket was leaking
Bought new head gasket, changed it myself in my driveway. Then fuelpump died. Bought new one changed it myself but I think it is too high in fuel tank. Car won´t run when fuel is near reserv.
But now I have new problem. When I start it cold it shakes a lot it has low idle maybe 700. It is not happy at idle. It is driving okey has power but sometimes when car starts to move on 1st gear it dies. Yesturday it died on onramp to highway on 3rd gear when clutch released. I did instal a new clutch but it was doing it with old one too. There is small rubber hose coming to front of the carburator from airbox it is melted and smoke is coming from it. I think it will be the problem. But why it is dying only sometimes? I have PTSD driving my car
Thanks for the help in advance!
