Hi All,
I have a Cinquecento 900s in which the injector light remains on after it has been started from cold/warm start. It idles unevenly and then cuts out so that you have to restart it again. This light is not always on and it seems to be intermittent. Also on accelerating from standstill the car seems to hit a flat spot and die causing you to ease off the accelerator for it to pick up again.
It has just been in the garage and they have replaced the lambda sensor as it was faulty but this has not cured the problem. At the same time it was going through and MOT and failed badly on emissions (they read 1200 instead of about 200). I have also replaced the injector in the carb but this did not help either. What can I do to get the emissions down? What could be causing this? Obviously the car is flooding with petrol but before going to FIAT to get them to run a diagnostic is there anything I can do or check? I have got another Cinquecento so I could try parts of that if necessary.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers in advance.
