Hi, I have a 2004 fiat punto 1.3 Multijet. The engine light came on recently so I took it in too the dealers. They found a fault with a pressure sensor at the back of the engine. They replaced it, I fetched the car, and as I turned onto the motorway accelerating there was a 'jerk' loss of power and the light came on again... When you switch the engine off and start it again its fine until you accelerate too about 2800rpm then it does it again... I took the car back too the agents, they said the sensor was faulty, replaced it again and its still doing it... They put the old sensor back the engine light is still on but the car drives perfect. They can't seem too find the fault. Has enyone found this problem before??
Thanks

Fault found!!
It seems like the gate valve in the turbo got blocked with carbon increasing pressure causing the sensor too put the engine in a safe mode.
All is well again.
Thanks too all for reading.
