Interesting. When you say 'coil pack', do you mean the ignition coil itself, or something else? And were your symptoms similar – jerking when accelerating, check engine light, the whole shebang?

Yes, coil pack is another name for the ignition coil. My Fiat experienced very similar symptoms: engine hesitation, jerking under load, and the dreaded check engine light. Given your symptoms, I would recommend taking it to the workshop. The diagnostic should confirm the defective ignition coil.

Just wanted to update you. The workshop confirmed it was indeed a defective ignition coil. They replaced it, along with the spark plug on that cylinder. Running smoothly now. Final bill was 95€. Thanks for the help!

Rough running and stalling sounds familiar. I had similar engine hesitation issues with my old Fiat – turned out to be the coil pack. Have you checked the spark plug connections? Even a slightly loose cable can cause havoc with the ignition system.
