Hello all
Help pls
I have a good running Stilo (2006 3 door petrol) 90K miles - very clean
Do we have a Purge valve or an emission control cannister on the 2006 models ? If so where is it located ? is it in the tank or in the drivers side engine bay. Thanks
I see there is no fuel filter to change / service ? Its moulded onto the Pump I believe on the 1.4 ?
Ive had the car go into LIMP mode yesterday or / Misfire - wont go over 2k revs etc.
NO fault code diagnosis yet but ....
I initially thought it was new nasty E10 fuel - water in petrol tank - this Ethanol just exasperates this issue
BUT now I am wondering if it is me overfilling the tank ( which I did do in the excitement of accessing some darn fuel !! :bang:
( the stilo 1.4 has been cleared by fiat ALLEGEDLY for use of E10 - * but I will not be using it again !)
I am reading that if we overfill the tank it can cause misfire and ECU issues - due to the purge valve cannister sensor getting messed up
It could be other sensor issues of course - it was raining hard etc
But please any advice welcome
Thanks - and hello ! Newbie Marco
