Fiat Tipo 1.6 problem

Aug 30, 2005 0 Replies

Dear newsgroup,



I have a problem with my tipo ('91).



It sometimes drives very goatish. Sometimes (appr. 20-30% of the time, seems more if it's rainy) it doesn't acellerate anymore if I want to, it seems the more I kick the less it's accellerates (or better it seems to throttle). This happpens from now to then and disappears from now to then (like switches on/off).



On a highway I can't drive more than 80-100km/h with this error, in the morning it is difficult to get throu the city (accelerate at traffic lights).



At the moment it happpens nearly every morning and lasts for 2-40min (so I sometimes drive the full way with this).



I have already checked


- spark plugs



- ignition cables



- ignition distributor



- sparc coil



- throttle poti



- engine control unit



- temp sensors at the engine



What else can produce this error ? Because if can appear/disappear anytime I think it must be something in the electricity.



Thank you for your help and I hope my english is at least a bit understandable.



Gregor
