Basically, normally in second, it has developed a bit of a flat spot at say 2000 rpm. But i noticed it again today at higher speeds. Accelerating from 60-80 ish in 5th, around 80 you can feel the car almost spluttering for a few seconds, the power drops slightly, engine management light comes on for a couple of seconds, and then the car picks up again.
Can anyone point me in the right direction as to what the problem is? Or is it a case for fiat to plug it into their diagnostic machine?
Any help would be appreciated

Sounds like air flow related trouble TBF, like when a Corsa's Air Flow Meter buggers up. Might be the same thing
