Have used OBD reader to see if I can diagnose problem and a fault has come up with ECU ( fault |1 ) I have recently changed the TPS as it was running eratic and struggled to idle ( over revving) that settled down and now I cant start it. Have checked for a spark which we have but think no fuel is getting through. Also sounds like a faint knocking from engine when it was running / engine under load. No sound when in neutral. Could it be crank position sensor? any pointers gratefully received thanks. glelly

Hi, with any 10+ year old FIAT, Checking for failure of the Battery to Chassis to Motor cable.. It's chunky.. But moisture can get in and rot it,
No power curculation.. Means weird warnings and no effort from starter

Ok.. Still worth trying with a Booster cable
So.. Does the tank pump still whirr for 10 seconds to prime the fuel rail?
Often there is a safety system that cuts fuel..
Fire PreventionSystem
Fuel Cut-off
Sometimes a physical button.. Sometimes electronic
Worth checking that 1st

Hope this helps!!
Well today I had another play to see if I could get the car started up. Still no whirr from petrol pump. Found the fuel isolator switch under the right hand side of the dashboard not far from bonnet lever. Pressed this but didn't make any difference. Did notice after turning the engine over that there seemed to be almost a suction noise coming from the throttle housing area. Could there be a airlock in the fuel line? Is there a bleed valve on the fuel rail, and would this stop the pump from working?
