Further to the postings on the CLX Overfueling thread by Peaman above, forum members may be interested to see what follows.
This is taken from the vehicle handbook issued with a ( FIRE engined ) 1992 Uno 1.0ie, having the same Bosch Mono-Jetronic system as the 92 to 93 Panda's.

Important information ( only regarding SPI Bosch Mono-Jetronic injection )
Whenever you disconnect and reconnect the battery or the battery loses its charge the engine may not run smootly at idle.
If this occures, use the following proceedure to reset the injection system control unit.
1, Put the tranmssion in neutral, let the engine warm up until the radiator fan turns on at its highest speed.
2, Switch off the engine and disconnect the postitive (+) battery cable. Wait 30 seconds and then reconnect the cable.
3, Warm up the engine again keeping the speed at about 2000 - 3000 rpm until the radiator fan turns on about 2 - 3 times. Let the engine idle for about 2 minutes.
To check the control unit is operating properly, switch the engine off and then turn it on checking to make sure it idles smoothly.
The engine should idle smoothly within 2 seconds of accelerating. If not, repeat the proceedure starting at point 2.
Although you can perform this proceedure yourself, it is best to have it done at a Fiat service centre.

For those who may have access to a copy of the Uno handbook, the above will be found on page 89.
Please note that in 1 above, it is their spelling of the word transmission not mine and as to the reference to the fan running at its highest speed, it is a single speed fan.
As for the last sentence, they must be joking!
This is at odds with what I had always taken to be the correct proceedure, basically that outlined by Jangcy above, unless you know different.
