Any ideas on this?

[Woody]

Hi. This is my second visit to the forum and my last stop before biting the bullit and letting fiat rip me off.
My problem sounds similar to the "no revs" question earlier.
I've got a 1.6 bravo and rather than just dying, it runs rough as hell one day then fine the next. The injection light comes on at low revs when the engine is under load but disappears soon after 3500 rpm. Sometimes it will idle with the light on, sometimes not. I cant find anything out of place under the bonnet, leads and plugs are fine too. Was wondering if it could be a lazy fuel pump? What do you think? Possibly even a knackered oxy sensor? Any help you can please guys.

for what it costs i'd just have it stuck on the computer, it will flag anything like a sensor up which is hard to diagnose and put your mind at rest if it finds something. Saves changing things in a trial and error method which can end up costing a fortune!

That's what I knew people would say. I have been thinking it myself. Just worried it's gonna kill my wallet!

i think it's £35 for the diagnosis, if they find something you dont have to get the work done at fiat!

Woody, thats an EASY one

You have a dead injector. £250ish to change 1 by fiat. How good are your spanner skills?

spanner skills are fine

I'm an aircraft engineer. I can use tools and know my way around an engine, I just wanted confirmation of what I was already thinking and dreading!!!!!!!!

OK, get the yellow pages and find carb servicing, locate your local weber dealer and phone them.

£70 per injector from BHB engineering in southampton. Well worth doing all 4. 2hr job to swap them.

I've just sent them an email. Thanks.
