Hi all, new to site.
My Daughter-inlaw has a 93 cinquecento (900cc) and the injection warning light has just come on and the car will not idle, it stalls unless you keep the revs up. Other than that its still running ok. A breakdown service engineer came to her aid and suggested that it might be the throttle position sensor.
Went to the breakers yard and found a 93 model. Took off the entire throttle body as this comes with lots of sensors and I was'nt sure if it was actually the TPS. After replacing the TB, no change, still stalling with warning light still lit. I have read that I may need to reset the ECU or it may still be another sensor not on the TB like the lambda sensor, cooland sensor etc..
Any suggestions would be appreciated as the car is only worth £300 and a fiat diagnostic is £80+. Is there anyway of manually getting the faulty sensor information from the ECU as I know on other makes it is possible to read fault codes using DVMs and scopes?
