I have noticed for a month or so that the fuel injector light comes on occassionally. I read in the manual this happens and to carry on driving.

This morning it came on and came on several times very briefly.

I seems to happen when I am hardly touching the accelarator or going light on the accelarator( e.g engine braking in 4th @ 30 mph) but has occured in 2nd and 3rd gear. The engine noticeably loses power but it doesn't cut out / stall. But when I put the foot back on the accelarator it does response and the light does go out.

Its fine and dandy in 5th cruising. The van drives well and seems to be ok except for this issue?

I have had a look on fiat forum and other forums and it seems to cover a multitude of sins. Dodgy earth, bad connect, ecu, injectors.

I wonder has anybody else had this issue and more to the point is there a common denominator.

Hope its a cheap fix...stitch in time and all that.
 
Hi
I would definitely check the wiring on no. 4 injector; apparently the cable is on the short side and can cause intermittent injector light when the engine moves about.
