Just drove home from work. 2min journey (yes, im lazy). Pulled up outside my house, knocked the car into reverse to park up and nothing. Engine had died. Went to restart and it won't. Cranks fine, but won't fire up. When i stop cranking it, the injector light starts flashing at me.

Any ideas - not checked for spark etc yet. But sounds like sensor to me if the inj light is flashing at me :(
 
yeah, when i turned the ignition i heard the pump prime and then when i tried to start it - i think it blew the 15a then. def blown the 15a now though.
 
its a normal size fuse. in a yellow holder under the ECU. just tried a new 20a in there. It blew as soon as i turned the ignition on, and i cannot hear the fuel pump priming.

I'm going to have to leave the car at home and catch a lift to stafford now i think.

Anyone think of anything quickly that it might be?
 
Cant remember if it was a cinquecento or seicento but a while back I had one doing the same & traced it to wiring at reverse switch shorting out,worth a try?cut of the cable tie as it was rubbing(shorting)under this.
Try disconnecting pump & renew fuse aswell.
 
i removed my induction kit and jiggled the reverse switch wiring, then fitted a new fuse and fired her up.

Actually.. the cable on the front of the box is the reverse inhibator cable isnt it. hmmm. I need to have a look in the daylight. Main thing is the engine runs again.

Where abouts was yours shorting T14086 ?
