Thanks for the quick reply! You mentioned spark plugs and misfires. Were your symptoms exactly the same? Did the check engine light also appear? And what did you do to fix it?

Yep, check engine light was on, too. Look, it could be a bunch of things, but honestly, with those symptoms, and given that I had almost the exact same issue, I'd get it to a workshop asap. They'll hook it up to a computer and tell you exactly what's wrong. Don't keep driving it like that; it could damage other parts of the engine. It's like ignoring a leaky faucet – eventually, the whole house floods!

Thanks a lot for the advice! I took it to the workshop, and you were right. It was a defective ignition coil! The cable or plug connection was indeed defective. The repair cost me 95€. Now the car runs smoothly again, and the check engine light is off. I really appreciate your help!

Sounds familiar. I had something similar happen with my Twingo. Rough running, engine stalling… the whole shebang. Have you checked your spark plugs? It could be a misfire. It's like trying to run a marathon with one shoe untied!
