My Relay was not white! it was Black! as you look under the bonnet it is at the back, under a cover tust to the right of centre, the wiring loom goes up there and also a pipe to the Map sensor. the cover is held on by one screw/Bolt.

hi does your engine turn over? if so check for a spark, if you have a spark check to see if there is any fuel going in. also i had a rare case on one of the punto`s that i repaired where everything seemed fine but it just would not go, i eventually got to the spark plugs which looked fine but i changed them anyway just in case {i reccommend champion eon plugs as they perform so well in punto`s} the car started first turn of the key.

unfortunately the big white relay is probably at fault, it seems to suffer from weather damage simply because it should have been put inside the car like the other relays, you can pick this relay up from any scrapyard for a couple of quid, fiat will charge a small fortune for a new one.
also if your battery has been off for some time your ecu may need reprogramming.

HI Danny,
Sounds like Fuel Pump Relay! its at the back right hand side as you lok under the bonett under a black plastic cover, if not it may be the pump but I doubt it, the pump can be reaced under the back seat!
the fuel filter is in front of the right hand rear wheel, be careful not to pull on the pipes too much, one of them will cause the fuel pump to break! dont think it is the filter as I would expect to get at least something through it, Relay is fave as I have heard of lots of probs with them!!!! Cheers PONTIOUS.

Could be the inertia fuel switch tripped out. Not sure whether its under the bonnet or passenger seat.

If you can put a capful of fuel into throttle housing and engine starts every time then do following:-
Thoroughly clean the fuel pump relay pins and connections.
Check that the inertia fuel switch has not tripped out.
Check the fuel pump works by supplying a feed into it where the relay does.
