Hello FF.

I've got a fiat grande punto 1.2 8v active and recently I have noticed that when I am driving the car loses power and judders and I also have noticed the engine light come on, the light has only flashed once since I've been getting the problem

Anyone know the fault and I's there anything I can check myself before going to vs garage?

Thanks
 
We have basicly same engine. I should check if there are any leaks on the hoses around the throttlebody and air intake. Check HT leads, spark plugs and it is a good idea when the MIL is lighted that you read it with an OBDII device. THere should defintely be an error code pointing you to the right direktion.
 
Rhys.

Unfortunately, the engine light means only one thing.
That there is a problem.
Nothing can be diagnosed from the bulb alone i'm afraid.

You'll need to hook up a code reader and pull the specific error code to stand any chance of finding what's causing it.

You could check the obvious like noltha says, but personally i wouldn't start throwing parts at it until you have an idea of the fault.

A few members have the correct interface to read the codes, so maybe you could post your approximate location and see if anyone wants to meet up.
