Dear all

I own a Fiat Brava SX 1999 model. Last year it had a problem with the stalk unit as I had no lights and wipers but I had since replaced it and now I had solved that problem.

However I had been experiencing another problem which is driving me nuts. The spark plug light on the dashboard (the one which looks like spraying) is turning ON very frequently. In fact the car sometimes stops working and I am noticing unusual fuel consumption. Also I had used some tank cleaners in the past but doesnt seem to help much. I took it to the dealer and they checked the ECU - apparently the throttle model is defective. They also suggested that this part is no longer in production!!

Can anyone suggest something which might help? could there be some other problem?
 
Scroberts right, thats the injector light.
Use carb cleaner in the throttle body and a injector cleaner in the fuel tank.

Must be bad luck to me. I had sold the fiat I spoke about in the past and bought one other one...doing same thing. The injector light comes up even though I recently replaced all spark plugs to NGK brand. Also the car stalls and sometimes turns off :(

I bought carburetor cleaner and injector cleaner. How can I apply them? the injector cleaner is mixed with fuel right? what about the carb cleaner? how can i identify the throttle body?

Thanks mates i am new to this stuff
 
I have the same prob with my brava 1996 bt my car runs fine
it eats fuel lol I was told the lanbda prob sencer is at falt.
Hope this helps.
 
Take it to a fiat garage or local garage who can plug it in for a diagnostic. Its the best way of finding the fault. It could be a number of things. It'll save you time and money in the long run.
 
hi i also have this problem but had no replies, funny you should mention lamba as my car was fine then exhaust dropped when changing as front section is broke now the injector light is on is the lamba also the problem on a hgt too?

cheers

well my mate has a program for his comp and it tells you the common problems with cars. and it does say on there that it could be the cat or the lamba sencer that makes me/us use so much fuel.
 
well after taking throttle body off today i cleaned and also ported and polished it when fitted back on, car was fine no more light lol i took everything off it and gave it thurough clean.
 
did that make it so you was usein less fuel? cos i am gonna try to cleen mine with carb cleener and a rag. lol
 
seams a bit better but i have a few more underlyying isues with mine one been it has a black hole for a engine lol..
