Posted on HJ as well, as Technical here is not so heavily viewed.
I was asked to have a quick look yesterday at a Fiat Spyder (indeterminate year), but must be a late model as it is lhd with American bumpers and auto transmission. American sourced?
It has been standing for about 4 years and has been started sucessfully in the past, about once every 12 months. It is fitted with a Bosch injection system that appears to be single point? Easy start allows it to fire up (probably on the ether) and then will sputter on 1/2 cylinders when cranking, but not run. The battery is remarkably lively for a 4year old battery that has been abused. I have suggested putting new petrol in but is there a way of bleeding the old petrol from the pump and fuel lines? My next move is to check whether there is a reasonable spark, but yesterday tools were negligible and poor lighting in the the subterranean garage. Can anybody with specific model knowledge tell me what fuel pump is used and where it is located. Access to the engine bay looks pretty difficult!
