Were the leads and coil pack changed at the same time. I would recommend it. Same thing happened on our 04 fiesta. Misfire on cylinder 4. Spark plugs alone didn't cure it. New leads and coil pack. Never missed a beat since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zigzag Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Its the start of the ecu module dying soon it will misfire on two cylinders and in the end will require a new or reconditioned module which needs to be virginised so it can communicate with the cars present anti theft systems. just look on ebay there are loads for sale on there its a common fault.

Rampent Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Nothing wrong with a Fiat.If its been stood then yes it could be a cause ,it's very similar to fault on my sons Punto.I put some Red X in the petrol tank and that cleared it up .It's worth a try and won't harm your car, you could also check the fuses. My flabber is ghasted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike84 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Coil Pack first off - Common problem... I don't suppose its got about 60k miles on the clock has it? When I had a punto, 10 years ago or so, did the coil pack, it lasted approx 12 months then needed a new ECU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
