Hello Stilo people
Just bought myself a cheap little 3 door Stilo with issues!
The car has been cared for and wanted for nothing. It only reads 83k has leather seats, 17" alloys, new clutch a year ago, used engine with 66k 6 months ago (after cambelt failure), full history, 11 months MOT etc etc - basically I think it needs saving!
Apparently it stopped working 2 weeks ago. Basically dash reads engine fault. Engine starts but sounds lumpy and the throttle does not work at all! The previous owner took it to his mechanic (who fitted the engine) he looked at the codes and assumed it was throttle body, so took that out and cleaned it thoroughly - no change. He kept fault finding but found nothing, the bill got too high so the owner sold it to me. The mechanic is not a Fiat specialist and just said - "I don't think it's the ECU as it was tested ok 6 months ago - maybe it's just a car that doesn't want to be fixed!"
Hoping someone might be able to advise a direction to point me in.
Originally codes read:
P0141 -O2 sensor (12)
P1687 - Electrically actuated throttle (learn stop)
P1220
P0136 - O2 sensor (7)
P1684
P0460 - Fuel level sensor (1)
U1600 - Immobilizer: key faulty.
I cleared all the codes and started the engine and only two keep coming back (although I couldn't say if driving the car may bring back others!)
P1687 - Electrically actuated throttle (learn stop)
P1220
Any ideas from you knowledgable lot??
Thanks in advance
