Hi and welcome,

I don't recognise that symbol/ image description..

Could you add a photo?

For info: the U. S. Models are quite different from the Euro models

It is @400 pounds heavier,
so uses a 1400cc motor ,where Europe gets a lower power 1242cc

BUT.. The control software is fairly similar

it's the Electronic Throttle Control light. Could be a lot of things, even a weak battery.
On 1.4 Abarths it will also trigger if you press the accelerator and break pedal at the same time for more than 2 seconds.

you need to hook it up to MES or AlfaOBD to see if there are any error codes.

Thanks, to You both

It is indeed a lightning symbol..
I have never come across one

I own the 2 cylinder variant of this "Multiair" technology..

Even in an Alfa Romeo.. and I am still to come across one

@decappottabile is obviously aware though

with 9 different error codes, I'm starting to think this is an electrical problem . maybe a loose connector?

I changed the spark plugs added oil and put the old throttle body back on last night it act like it wanted to start but didn’t now it only giving the p0651 code I’m going to check the fuses later what else you think I should do before I give up
