Andy could you try one of the fault code readers if you know someone that has one may be worth a try before you scrap the car just a thought

Well he does know someone who has one. It's only a cheap one cos the screen on my old system went fubar.
You are welcome to borrow it Andy.

Might be worth a try Sir, although I've really already lost patience with this one. I'm not a mechanic & think I've reached the point where I just don't enjoy this kind of hassle any more.

 Well, Mr Olds very kindly leant me his diagnostic code reader this afternoon. Undid the access panel in the dashboard -hmm ...fuses, relays, etc ...but no sign of a plug socket. It's a 20 year old car -maybe they just didn't have them. I was going to pull a fuel pipe off the carb & check there was actually fuel getting through, but it's fitted with crimped on clips, so I need a pair of pliers to get them off & jubilee clips to replace them -which means another walk across town to the lock-up to fetch them. I hate cars.

Sorry MM didn't realise how old the Punto was and it looks like Fiat didn't do the std obd port until about 2000 in europe.

And the Punto is a 1996/7. Think there are three pin connectors scattered around the engine bay for diagnostics, so not compatible with the reader.  |

Starting to think it might just be as simple as a blocked fuel filter, but need to walk across town & back to get the tools just to remove a fuel pipe to see what flow it's got. Not ideal trying to do stuff in the street outside the house.
