Hi Guys,
I haven't been here in a long time (I use to have a Seicento Abarth in my younger days and was here a lot back then!).... I'm hoping one of you guys could help me out in diagnosing a problem.
My wife has a 2003 Fiat Seicento Active. It's a great little car but has started to give us a real problem. On a recent trip out the 'check engine' light came on going up a hill and then the car wouldn't rev past 3000rpm, and has refused to rev past 3000 ever since!! I have an OBDII connector cable, so have hooked this up but the car doesn't give any error codes at all.
A friend suggested that the 'Lambda / Oxygen Sensor' may be faulty and that I should try disconnecting it. I've done this and it makes absolute no difference at all to the symptoms (I don't know whether this is good or bad!).
If anyone has any ideas of any tests I can perform to try to isolate the probelm it would be extremely greatly appreciated (if not I'll have to lend her my car, and I really don't want to do that ).
Thanks!
Dave.
