My car is shit
misfiring and overrevving, incredibly slow to accelerate, the coolant keeps evapourating (no leak as far as I can tell), and the engine cuts out when I'm slowing down for roundabouts etc.

Google suggests electrical fault needing a new ECB and new coils :( I don't know what this means

coolant can't evaporate
it's a sealed system

either you've got a leak, or you've blown the head gasket between the cooling channels and one of the cylinders.

EDIT - it's not a Fiat is it? If so, you've probably blown one of the coils and taken the ECU with it. Really common. You can GAZ me if you want any advice

Stalling when decellerating
can also sometimes mean that there is a leak somewhere in the vacuum.

Unless it's 20+ years only
it won't have a vacuum advance on it. ECUs removed the need for that, along with the need for distributors
