My mates punto just died and he cant afford anything (lol) so ive been taking a look for him, there is no spark at all, all the fuses are ok, ive been reading thru the fiat forum and tried replacing the coils, crankshaft postition sensor and relay controller, im now stuck.
also there doesnt appear to be any petrol geting through.

does the fuel pump prime when you put the ignition on?

Does it come on for a couple of seconds when you switch the ignition on and then go out?

Possibly fuel pump relay or the pump itself. You get access pump under the back seat I think, might be worth getting a multimeter on the pump to see if a supply is present when ignition is switched. If yes, then dodgy pump is prime suspect, if not have a look at fuel pump relay.
