Bloody Fiat!
The saga continues!
The engine management light returned to taunt me last night!its intermissant now!
when the lights on its really lumpy on start up!
someone recommended disconnectiong the battery and joining the positive & Negative!
to me this sounds a tad ropey!
is this good for the car or will it make the ECU go nuclear?
Bloody Italian Car!!!!!!!!!!!

Is there a specific forum you could check?
I have just had a £650 bill for mouse damage to my car, and it still runs pretty much like yours so more bills no doubt to follow.
Good luck.
Off to slit my wrists now.

If it is a punto 1.2 8v,
these guys are excellent, they got my daughters ecu back to me in less than 72 hours after I posted it, worked perfectly
since.
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Am saving up for the humane traps which just catch them alive.
So then I can skin em and roll them in salt, staple them to the wall and slowly toast them with a fag end.
Wouldn't dream of killing them!

the touching the battery terminals together will reset the ecu adaption values on some cars as it draisn the system down.
Hold them together for 30 seconds and refit. worth a try.

ECU problems on the Fiat FIRE engines are seldom caused by the ECU itself.
main culprits for poor running and 'ecu' logged faults are....
MAP sensor.
Split pipe to MAP sensor
Lambda sensor need replacing
Crank position sensor
(cam phase sensor if its a model with one).
I would try those (all available from scrap yards) before splashing out on a new ECU.

just because you are a character, doesnt mean you have character....
for all your bespoke parts, ali welding, waterjet, laser, folding, turning, milling, composite work, spraying, anodising and cad drawing....

As he says been there with my daugters punto.
Map sensor did nothing for me. Fitted a cheap universal lambda sensor off ebay and away it went. Also found a split vacum pipe.
