Hello everybody!
Newbie here and also on Fiats and Common Rails. Hoping to find some help from you guys :idea:
I just found a cheap 2004 Scudo that I happened to buy. Car would not start but after jamming the contacts of the dual relay (the contacts that feed the ECU) I got the car running. I tried swapping a new relay but then the car would not start.
Can somebody point me in the right direction? Ignition switch? I think I have checked all the fuses but I may need to double check. Also the temp meter would not work the first few times I ran the car but now suddenly it's working fine.
Problem 2. You can clearly hear that the engine lacks compression on at least 1 cylinder during cranking. I'm not a pro but I would say almost zero on one cylinder and OK comp on the others. The cold idle is also very rough and you can clearly feel the car shaking sitting in drivers seat. However, it starts up right away and the hotter the engine gets, the nicer it runs and when reached operating temp it runs okay and it feels like all the horses are still in place. Still lacking compression hot though. Any thoughts? The car also just passed the Finnish emissions test.
Checked the codes (after clearing) and I got two codes, 0100 flow sensor and some other I don't remember but it was related to the master relay. The car has run 380.000 km and the history is pretty much unknown.
Any thoughts? :worship:
