My 81 spider has always started first turn of key for the six months i have owned it. then it happened. I finished complete body prep ( at least 40 hrs) for repaint. No start! No nothing! No starter click Googled Thads Fiat Pages. downloaded FIAT FUEL INJECTION DIAGNOSTIC MANUAL ONLINE . This is a very comprehensive do not let it intimidate you. BUT after I tested inline fuse under dash ok, fuel pump ok, double relay ok still no start. I jiggled key in switch, no start, giggled key again START! Is ignition switch bad? Re started fine then suddenly stopped again? Guess what I found. follow the wires from the ignition switch a few inches to the white connector. clean this connector reconnect and MAMA MIA ! car starta good now! How many times have i read about CLEAN ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS RULE!!
