It sounds as though you need the ECU re programmimg. You cannot just put an old second hand one on. You will need to contact a suitable company/garage that can do this for you.

Better than the original Punto in almost every way. Excellent driving environment. Easy to get in and out of. Practical and inexpensive to run.
