I bought a 1995 Fiat Panda back in March as a non runner, it still hasn't been started. It's getting fuel but no spark, replaced ignition coil but still no spark.
Anyone know of common starting problems on these? The car had been sitting 4 years and was in the process of a new clutch being fitted, really the gear selector has been disconnected.
Really need to get this going soon as it's in great condition otherwise. I just don't want to replace every single electrical component if it could be a simple fix.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Scott

Have a look at the fuses and the relay that do the ignition system, if they are okay, check that they are in properly, as on my panda they can work loose.

A likely culprit would be oxidised contacts including fuses and relays give these a clean with some fine wet and dry.
Re code reader, take it into your local garage and get them to stick a reader on it. Cheap ones are available but they are cheap for a reason and there functionality is rather limited. Currently I cant access Autodata so can't look up were any diagnostics plugs are or what type they are.

The diagnostic plug should be under the fabric roll (glovebox) in the passenger footwell.

^ do you know if its OBD11 protocals? The kit ive got does OBD11 and anything post 2003 by then most manufacturers were using the same few diagnostic languages. Cost £50 of ebay.
The new kit ive got coming next month says its does anything with an programmable ECU regardless of age but that kit was £3k and that was trade price!

Good to hear, not much can go wrong with pandas, but can often be a pain to work out what problems can be. Also if you need any other bits let me know, as I have a decent stock of spares  |
