I have a fiat 500 1.2s on a 64 plate.
Yesterday whilst at traffic lights on a major junction, as I was about to set off the car went into what I would describe as 'limp mode', the engine management light came on, the stop/start light came on and an exclamation light. I turned off the ignition and when I turned it on again the engine management light was still on. I sat a while at the side of the road, tried again and drove home fine - albeit with the engine light still on. When I got home I turned ignition off again and on and the lights had all cleared.
Any ideas?
p.s - I have now disabled stop/start just in case it's that as even with it on I don't use it anyway.
