2009 Grande Punto 1.4 8v - Check Engine - P0202
Hello
Looking for some input for a novice, before I give up and take it to a garage.
Car hasn't had a lot of use lately but engine light came on when on the motorway recently, after about 5 minutes at ~60mph. The dash display seemed to reset and car felt sluggish for a moment. Light stayed on for the rest of the journey, and the momentary sluggishness happened a few more times. Next time, the light was off. Happened again next time on the motorway a week later. After a few weeks like this, the light is now on continuosly and the car is sluggish.
From what I read it sounded like coil pack, HT leads, spark plugs or wiring, but fault codes would help.
So I bought a cheap bluetooth reader (blue ELM32 one) and read the fault codes with the Torque Lite app:
P0202 - Injector Circuit - Cylinder 2
Reading a bit more, suggestions of failed fuel injector.
So, am I on the right track with this?
For this fault, as a novice am I likely to get any benefit from trying MultiECUScan (free version, if it even works with my reader)?
I've searched for photos and videos for replacing fuel injectors on this engine and haven't found much of use.
Here's a photo of the area, with the air filter off. Where are the fuel injectors? Are they the rusty cyclindrical things you can see below the HT leads? (one is obscured by the cabling).
Any tips/photos/videos on how to proceed greatly appreciated.
Car is 2009 Grande Punto Active 77 1.4 8v. 45K miles.
Thanks
