Hi all
i have 1600 dynamic stilo. the engine fault light has been on for a while now and the local fiat dealer is telling me the throttle position sensor is faulty. the car is prone to cutting out at tickover and does hesitate sometimes at full power. He can fix it for £550 is this about the going rate? is there somewhere that does reconditioned units?
the dealer did tell me this is a common fault on 1600's but i cant find much mention of tps problems on this site!
the problem is getting worse so i will have to fix it at sometime in the future.
any advice regarding a cheaper solution (DIY fitting?) would be welcome.
cheers ian
