Technical P0016 after timing
I suppose the first thing I'd do would be to recheck the timing by seeing if the crank and cam locking tools slot in ok. Bit of a "drag" timewise but at least then you know you're starting with things mechanically right.
Did you slacken the cam sprocket holding bolt as recommended? If so, and anyway even if your timing tools confirm the timing to be correct I'd be betting that what you now need to do is a "Phonic Wheel Relearn" which can be best done with either Multiecuscan or the Fiat dealer tool. This procedure reteaches the ECU the relationship between the cam and crankshaft position sensors which may have altered slightly due to the new belt or changes that have come about due to the cam sprocket retaining bolt having been slackened.
