Hello dear friends,
I recently bough Fiat Stilo 1.6 16v year:2002. The car is great and I love it !
Unfortunatelly, i have a problem and I really would appreciate you help to solve it.
For unknown reasons the car does not start from time to time. For 3 moths that I have it happened about 10 times. It is different every time - sometimes it starts on the second or third try, sometimes it does not start no matter how many times I try, but if I leave it and come back about 15 min later it starts as noting happened! Yesterday it was horrible! It did not start no for the numerous times that i tries. I left the car for 30-40 min but nohting when i got back. Once before friends pushed me and I started the car on gear and I tried it yesterday but the car jumped and did not start again ?!:bang: We tried 3 times until it started!
What I can describe as symptoms:
- Always does this when the car has reached optimal temperatura - 90deg and I leave the car for about an hour. When I come back tha car has some heat left but not that much. Every time it is like that!
- When I finally start the engine you can clearly smell gasoline
Assumptions:
- Problem with the key - not turning of the imobileser and fills the engine with gasoline not ignited ( but the lamp on the dash turns off )
-Injectors not holding fuel and fills the engine with fuel after I stop or before I start the engine ( while waiting for the check)
-Because heat matters in my case ( never had the problem on cold car) I assume that a sensor is not working properly, may be the one in the cooling system which tells the car if it is hot or not and calculates the revs. (but i don think that it can flood that much the engine with fuel that it wont start)
The car runs great. It has power and is really nice driving! No problems when started ! I have ELM 327 and With FiatEcuScan no errors are written in the computer after the problem occurs. There were several stored erros first time it happened, but after cleaning no new are written !
Thas is what I can tell you. I tried searching for a simillar problem, but no luck. I would be grateful if you could share experience or suggestion on the topic.
Thanks !
