00 1.2 non start - kevin1710
i have got a fiat punto 2000 on an 'X' it is a 1.2 8 valve. the problem i get is on the odd occasion after i have been out in it i stop the car and turn off the ignition perhaps to pop into a shop and when i return it fails to start it turns over very slowly as if the battery is flat (but i have had it checked)but once i have bump started it its perfectly ok and will go on for weeks without missing a beat starting every day no problem then just as before it will do it again for no apparent reason i wondered if anyone has had a similar problem or can shed any light on mine
thank you
kevin

Sounds possibly a starter motor fault or a poor earth from the engine to the battery.hth
