Lovely Injector Light - Help Please!!

[Craig S]

Would be good to know if anyone has any ideas.
Got a 2000 1.6SX Bravo which has done about 55k, went on holiday for a week and left it low on fuel and came back last week to find the injector light on and running as if it was on 3 cylinders.
Tried giving it a good run and some redx but it got a lot worse so took it to a Fiat garage where they diagonosed 2 faulty injectors which were replaced (£320 all in which I didnt think was bad). Appreciate in an ideal world all four should be swapped but its getting near christmas .
It then was fine friday night when I drove it for about 20 miles. Got in it Saturday and the light came on again and stayed on for about 10 miles then went off and then came on and straight off for a couple of seconds every few minutes after that. When it does come on the engine is nowhere near as bad as last week- just feels a bit like turbo lag.
After using it sparingly over the weekend I have found that the red light stays on until the engine is warm (i.e. when the temp gauge is bang in the middle) then it goes off only to pop on and off when driving.
Have it booked in again at Fiat on wednesday but wanted to try and get an idea of what it may be and to brace myself for the cost!!
Any help appreciated!

A nother injector, or something in the range of 100 faults that the light represents. Sorry cant be specific

could be alot of things. mine flickered on just after i had the new gearbox and clutch fitted. turned out a wee bit of water had gotten into the sender unit plug on the gearbox. i drove all the way to work, then back home via the garage with no speedo working. :s

hi mate i had this problem today the light came on and the car misfired.... after a hour under the bonnet it turned out to be a worn wire off one of the injectors this was shorting out on the inlet manifold... i fixed it with some insultaion tape and cable ties gave it 50 miles of deaf and it never missed a beat this is on a 1.6 16valve sx

Rich,

that was damn smart of you. I bet if you'd taken it to a garage they'd have said you needed a new injector at least!
Must remember this should my 1.6SX ever develop similar symptoms!
