Did you change the fuel pump and filter? Also checked the mesh screen in the tank?

New fuel pump
New injectors
New fuel pump relay
New fuel rail

Tested fuel pressure at +- 3 bar

Fuel is there
Spark is there
No vacuum leaks

Starts and idles for 2-3 seconds then cuts out
Immobilizer tested - no issue there

Starts fine then dies two seconds after start-up! | FIAT Grande Punto

Need to clarify that i have owned the GP (1.2 8V Petrol) since 89,000 miles, currently at 92,500 with no idea of service history... Car is struggling to hold revs when i first start it in the morning and when it is left turned off for a few hours. Runs fine once I get going though. Basically...

How much has that cost so far?!
Looks like you have been trying the “throw parts at the problem“ troubleshooting technique, which sadly typically doesn’t do much other than drain your wallet.

is it supplied by Motus (the pump assembly)(i can allmost guarantee you if its not a fiat pump ass. it wont work,what make is the pump ) .if i remember Strada is 3.5 bar and the regulator is in the pump ,no filter to change in the assembly its self cleaning ,do you have the blue id card for the vehicle ?EDIT sparkplugs ? what are they have you changed them .edit edit what codes come up with the DTC reader ,did you use a china reader or an emulator unit

Really stupid question. Did you check for water in the fuel tank???

Hi there
Thanks for all you suggestions so far ..,
Quick question.,,what type of pipe would be used between the fuelpump and the feedline fitting inside the fuel pump housing.
I see a hard type of plastic pipe that is heat shrinked onto both he fuelpump and the housing.,
And its also flexible to move with the springaction inside the housing..
Any alternative to this as i have used normal fuel pipe but it does not hold the pressure and blows off on the fuel pump side
Thanks

ok ,so you want people to answer your question,but you refuse to answer members question ,so you bought an aftermarket part and now it doesnt fit right .you just blew money on things from a aftermarket seller ,now it doesnt work .See it everyday .good luck .

But sorry you wasted your time in replying with such a shitty remark...go blow yourself

Definitely a good way to get free advice on a forum, maybe 2 more of these kinds of posts and someone will tell you what the problem might be
