C3 Picasso 2010. Spluttering, esp light and abs lights on and off

[vickm99]

Hi
Around 4 weeks ago I noticed my c3 Picasso was spluttering mainly when in low gears and accelerating, very often on roundabouts and bends. It began to become more frequent then the orange ESP light came on and off intermittently. Took car to garage and they changed the spark plugs and fitted a new coil pack. This hasn’t made any difference, I drove the car a couple of days ago and after around 20 mins of driving the warning sound came on for ABS system failure along with the ABS failure light, the esp light came on again and the car started misfiring/spluttering really bad. Someone suggested it could be a sensor issue but I’m looking for any advice. Things to consider are the initial issue started with no warning lights present only the spluttering in low gears and accelerating. Thanks in advance.

The first thing I'd look at is the fuel supply, lines, filter, debris in tank, loose injector or connector on the fuel rail etc. You really need a high end diagnosis to see what codes are stored and proceed from there.
