    having worked for fiat there not cheap expect to pay aroung 300+ for it. If its the 1.2 model id try changing plugs and leads before a coil

    Thanks johncm. Thats bad news , 300+ is money i dont have! The plugs have been changed before and the garage that did the diagnostics test said they are grand so they are thinking its the coil pack

    i know you said the plugs have been changed but did they put in the right ones . they changed plugs in 99 and if the wrong ones are in it wont run right. you should also be able to pick one up in a scrap yard easy enough.

    Be warned that you could be looking at a ECU replacement too, they can get spiked by dodgy coils - or, indeed, the ECU could be dodgy and manifesting itself as 'faulty' coils that are in fact perfectly fine.

    ECU is 125 sterling from a reprogrammer or about 800 euros from Fiat Auto Ireland... takes yer pick if it comes to that.
