Hi,
I have an issue with a Fiat Bravo 1.4i 66kW. The car stayed in the garden for 1 year. It has a problem starting when the outside temperature is around 10 degrees. Sometimes it starts on the 10th attempt, but usually on the 3rd or 4th.
There are no error codes (the check engine light doesn’t come on), and when the car starts, everything works fine.
I have tried:
- Changing the ignition coils
- Replacing the temperature sensor
- Cleaning the fuel tank and adding new fuel
- check spark plugs

For what I should look next? Have someone similar issue?

Lots of people with the same issue, i don't think someone has found a solution to this day. Filling the fuel tank above the half mark on the dashboard gives you an easier start, but still not from the first crank.

In later years, fiat started to fix the (still) persistent cold start issue by updating the ECU software - https://www.fiat500usaforum.com/forum/fiat-500l-forums/fiat-500l-issues-and-concerns/31963-fiat-500l-tsb-18-017-14-improved-engine-starting-and-performance

But, such update for the bravo, i suspect is unobtanium, so the only logical step is to reach out to a tuning company and ask if they can tune the ecu and improve cold start.
