Strada Jerking Acceleration Power Loss
Summary of the thread
A 2021 Fiat Strada diesel is experiencing jerking during acceleration, power loss, a check engine light, and a foul exhaust smell. The issue is suspected to be a manifold gasket leak or a sensor problem. A similar case revealed that the intake manifold was scorched and leaking, leading to the recommendation of a workshop inspection. The problem was confirmed to be the intake manifold, which was repaired, resolving the vehicle's issues.

Scorch easily, huh? Interesting. What exactly went wrong with yours? Was it the manifold itself, or just a gasket giving up?

Mine was the manifold itself. Leaking like a sieve. I'd suggest taking it to a workshop to be sure, but that sounds like what happened to mine.

Yep, you nailed it. Took it to the shop, and it was indeed the intake manifold. Scorched and leaking. Cost me 1180€ to get it sorted, but at least the Strada is back on the road and running smooth. Thanks for the heads-up!

Sounds familiar. I had similar symptoms on my Strada. I'd check the intake manifold. Those scorch pretty easily.
