Hi newbie here, I went to tesco in my puma 1.7 v reg, went in did a bit of shopping and when I came out is were the problem started.
I got in to the car put it in reverse and it seemed to stall, which didn't seem unusual as I often stall it in reverse. But when I started it back up it just kind of spluttered, the engine was running but didn't sound right at all. When I put my foot on the accelerator nothing happened except the car shook more violently. It was as if it had no fuel but it has 1/4 of a tank. I tried it a few more times and each time the car would start but it just shook and rattled, my hubby went down a few hours later to have a look and now it won't start at all.
Have checked the fuel cut off switch which is fine.
Please help! I'm being forced to drive a fiat uno!
Also I have noticed that occasionally when I'm accelerating the car seems to have no power. Especially in third.
