Probably a stupid question!
I got new puma a couple of months back (2000 1.7 w plate), it keeps loosing power for a split second or so from time to time, it can happpen any time , hot cold, slow fast etc, Also when driving it has what I can only describe as a skipping feeling.
Anyway my question is where is the engine management light? Is it the one near the temp guage? , I have tried the lcd diagnostics thing, sweep guages etc and when I get to illuminate all bulbs the only bulb that lights is what looks like a washer bottle light, nothing else lights up?

So I am confued and think maybee some tampering been going on as the lights on the dash illuminate on key turn but not on diagnostics, the only error code I get is for abs sensor but I would ecpect the abs light to be on. Also on the odd occasion I have caught my LCD display going completely black?

Sorry if it all sounds confusing , its all new to me and im not very technical.
Any help much appreciated.
 
Your car will have an early ECU (probably TAPE) which doesn't utilise the cluster check engine light, so I wouldn't worry about that.

Not sure about your power loss problem, usual culprets are coil pack, leads, plugs and lambda. You could also try cleaning your MAF with electrical contact cleaner or similar.
