Hi there.
I have a problem, and don't have much info on it. Earlier I made a thread about it, and it all looked like coil problem. But since yesterday my mechanic diagnosed this: there is no problem with coil but with some part named "TP sensor" (OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT) which has something to do with air intake as I have understood. Also, he said that he used to fix this part to VW and other cars but he never tried that with Fiat. It probably means I will have to replace it. Is it expensive?
At that moment, the error was just listed in "error history", he reseted the car computer and told me to come when the error "is on" meaning I have to wait for the problem to reoccur and then go directly to him so he could determine the errors code.
Well, it did, exactly today. The engine started to lose its strength, I tried to hit the gas but it didn't help. It has turned off. After three ignitions (1st and 2nd failed) everything is fine. So the car losses its RPM during driving or refuses to ignite sometimes.
Everything else is fine, there are no other errors. I am thinking to try to make the car to trigger the problem by driving it like I want to punish it and then visit the service with the "error on".
So, anyone: do you have anything to explain me about this "tp sensor" problem?
Thanks.
