Solution to the problem of cylinders not igniting in the Lancia Ypsilon

Model: Lancia Ypsilon MK 3, Y3, Ypsilon 3, 846 - Years 2011-2023
Part: Throttle body

In this video, we see how a broken gasket between the throttle body and the air filter of a Lancia Ypsilon has negatively affected the ignition of the car's pistons. In fact, this car had a problem where the pistons, alternately, were not firing, causing the car not to run. We have to remove the air filter box, the duct bracket, the oil evaporation tube, and the oil recovery tube: we find that the gasket that connects the filter box to the throttle body was practically destroyed, allowing air to pass downstream of the filter, into the throttle body, causing the fuel values to be off. We clean around the valve and inside with a specific cleaner. We replace the gasket and reassemble the air filter. Now the engine works at 100%.
