I have a 53 plate Fiat Idea Eleganza which has lately developed a fault.
When I put the key in the ignition the dash lights up and the engine turns on and revs. After 5-10secs everything just dies, engines, lights on dash the works.
I had the AA out and they highlighted a coolant temp sensor issue, I took i to the garage who ran a diagnostic and found nothing wrong. The problem has since persisted. I took it to the fiat garage who ran a battery of tests and found nothing at all wrong.
They then reset everything to factory default as a precaution, the car has ran fine for a week again. Until now the problem has started again.
I am at a loss after 3 diagnostics and examinations have not found a fault. The correct petrol has been used, usually filled up before it gets too low a few times when the petrol light comes on.
I was wondering if anyone had any ideas about what the issue could potentially be?
Thanks
