Hello! Can anyone help with me with my lovely 2011 Fiat 500 Twin Air Lounge which starts but has no revs whatsoever?
Been to local garage who changed a 'boost pipe' after 'smoke test showed leak' (?) and then over to a specialist Fiat garage who have changed ECU, Throttle Pedal, checked engine wiring and battery - they mentioned having her back up and running at one stage but once she sat overnight they couldn't get the revs back again.
If we leave her a couple of days she'll rev a couple of minutes until warm(ish), but then accelerator can be pressed to the floor and there's zero movement on the rev counter. Just seems as though something is telling her (sensor?) that she must stop!
Warning on dash says engine error and no start stop but not sure if that's just because she's unhappy.
Desperate for any suggestions on mending this little lady as we can't be sure spending a fortune with main dealer will cure her, but also don't want to scrap her as we just feel it's something fixable since she runs - albeit won't move!!! Am I being too optimistic? Can anyone shed light on this?
Thanks so much for reading and for any suggestions x
