Hi

I just wanted to post this bit of information as it could save someone allot of hassle and money. I had my stilo 1.6 dynamic just 3 months and problems started i.e engine management light come on and engine would not rev, i believe they call this limp home mode. After paying a so called fiat dealer 300 pounds for a new trottle body and the car still cut out. I will cut this story sort and tell what was the problem. A dodgey coil pack in number 4 cylinder was causing interference to the ecu which is situated next to it. It caused all sorts of problems and made the ecu think that the injector was not working and among other things. There has to be the right resistance in the coils or they will cause havoc. Hope this helps.
 
hey how you doin,
craig here i'm havin trouble with limp home mode every couple of days think this could help me just wondering do i need to test every coil or is it just the coil in number 4 thats the prob??
