My Fiat Stilo 1.6 2002 is continually cutting out. Originally first saw the errors when arriving at work last Tuesday, after a 32 mile drive. Did a number of times then was fine.
Went and started the car at lunchtime and no errors. Drove home and same fault after 19 miles. Restarted and did it again 200 yards later. Called out the AA, and could find nothing wrong when putting the computer on the car. Eventually he followed me home. Did it again after about 4 miles, then another 2, another 1, another 1 then was fine for about the last 5 miles, so very random.
Error codes show ASR failure, loose connection. When my mechanic put the computer on the car it shows no error. He spoke to Fiat who told him they have lots of these and the issue was a engine fuse box. He replaced and still the same fault. He's checked the wiring for signs of corrosion, but can find no corroded wires, despite this being Fiat's second diagnosis. Is driving him mad. He's had a look in the individual areas of the computer, and the following error codes are what he has found. Thing is he is not sure how long these error codes have been there.
Steering
C1003 Vehicle speed from can
C1009 Control Unit
Ins
B100E Speedo
B100D Rev Counter
B100E Water Temp
Body
B1029 Serial Line WSC to ground
ABS
C1521 Can no communication
C1520 Can Line
I've looked everywhere online and can find no definitive answer to this. FIAT don't appear to know either. Is there anyone who can help?
Looking online I've seen at least 3 references to the crankcase sensor being the issue.
Also found a massive list of Fiat error codes on line (about 5000 of them) but none of the above are on the list.
My mechanic is a family friend and has not charged me for any of the work other than the engine fuse box replacement and fitting it. And he is back up to Fiat again today to speak to them re the list of error codes, but admit I'm despairing of this being fixed in the near future.
