INJECTOR LIGHT COME ON DASHBOARD!!!HELP!!!

[SPENSPUMA]

Can anyone point me in the right direction.????

I drove home tonight and the red injector light came on the dashboard while i was driving??...it stayed on for a while-then went off and then back on again intermitently.My car HAS felt a bit sluggish the past few weeks and feels a bit 'throaty' and lacking power.

ANYONE else had this problem??..is it expensive to fix???

ANY help would be MUCH help.

If it does it again lift your foot off the gas pedal and see if the light goes out.

Re: re inector light

good luck taking it to fiat (which is what you'll have to do)...for me it took them 7-8 weeks and three diagnostics to find a loose connection in an ECU wiring loom.

Yes...light does seem to go out for a moment when i take foot off gas. But seems to come on again and then off for a while - doesnt seem consistant

Re: RE INJECTOR LIGHT

Off to fiat you go, sounds like a dead injector.

Its a DIYable job if you are handy with the spanners.

Speaking of the Hayes Manual

Got a brand new one on sale on ebay. I somehow ended up with two.

I have this exact problem on my 1998 1.6 SX Brava. Local garage said it is more likely to be a bad HT lead.

If it is an injector, is there an easy way to id the faulty one?
The light comes and goes frequenty with a resulting loss of power.

Help appreciated.

The ECU would not be able to tell if it was an HT lead and hence would not light the light.

The easy way to check which injector it is would be to take all the plugs out and see which one is a different colour.

Hi Tom - checked & cleaned the plugs recently, no obvious difference.
