Starting Problem, Fiat 500.

cmhj2000

Have been having some starting issues with our 2013 Pop. What happens is the engine will start, fuss and hesitate for a couple seconds, then die. When resetting the ignition switch to off and restarting it'll usually but not always run fine. Sometimes the process has to be done twice.

Have tried setting switch to run, wait a few seconds and then start. No change.

Ambient temp makes no diff from zero to 80.

Anyone have any clues?

My dealer has no idea!

The reflash, tech bulletin 18-007-14 reversion B in my post above did the trick.

Thanks for following through on all this. Good info.

You're welcome. Glad to provide worth while info.

Also found, before the update, that running in sport mode for a few moments made it less jerky when cold.
