General Fiat bravo sport 150

[mfenwick1107]

I do not know the most about cars, but I have a p1171 code up, rough idle. I origionally thought it was the fuel filter, but came to learn the cars filter is a part of the fuel pump, and so should last the life of the pump.

I was wanting to clean the MAF sensor, as I thought this may have an effect on the lean running engine. does my car have a MAF sensor, I have seen that with a MAP sensor and a temp gauge cars may not have one.

If anyone has knowledge please let me know. It is the 2007 fiat bravo sport 2 1.4 tjet 150 petrol.

Just a cheap OBD2 scanner. I believe it to be a manufacturer specific code, otherwise it would be a standard P0… code?

I'd find someone with MES or AlfaOBD to be sure to read all the errors correctly before you invest more money. I know there are some forum fellow members willing to help. You can check the link the forum engine will add under the 'MES' acronym in my post

Thank you. Do you know if my car has a MAF sensor?

I'm pretty sure your car has.

Check ePER. It's the FIAT spare parts catalogue. The link is on the bottom of the forum banner. Search window top left of the screen. You can browse by models and categories or search with the VIN number - in that case ePER will by default display only the parts that fit your car.
