Hi there everyone i have just bought a Fiat Bravo HGT of ebay havent picked it up yet THE ISSUE: was very reliable for the first two days, on the third day went to start the car to go to work and it just wouldn’t start with the injector light showing on the dashboard, I left the car for two days and it then started again and run for a further two weeks with no trouble, until leaving a friend’s house one Friday night and the injector light come on again and wouldn’t start, I had to call the AA to recover the car back to my parents house where it has sat for the last three weeks. I have had to buy a cheap run about to get to work and do not have the time or expertise to find out what the problem could be and the reason it’s now up for sale. I did have a quick look on the internet and a common problem is crankshaft sensor so it could be an easy fix for someone

Please Give some light on the subject
 
This thread is for the current Bravo, you could ask a mod if they can move it?
 
Injectorlight = ecu knows something is up.
Get the codes and it should tell what is wrong.
Is it flashing when you crank? If not, then it is nothing too serious (mainly the camsaft sensor).
Cranksaft sensor is on top of the starter between engine and firewall, fixed with single bolt.

Is it a 147 or 155 engine?
 
Im assuming its this 155. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321129169825

If it wasnt so far away from me I would have been interested in buying, definatly would have viewed it.

It sounds like the crankshaft sensor. I think Neverth said everything. Some people report that when the crank sensor fails the car will start from cold ok, but it will not start from warm. Looks like it could be a good buy. Cant go wrong at that winning bid its scrap dealer money.
