Hey FF .my first post
..ive searched and searched but found nothing conclusive - and its such a shame most people start threads with issues but never return to state how they solved their problem
Got a 2003 1.6 stilo
My symptoms..
Two weeks ago noticed a slight judder when accelerating almost as if it lost power and got it back again within a second and think it was the engine light that came on and went straight away did this a couple of times
Few days later the car started cutting out whilst driving - did it 3times in 2days -luckily it turns over straight away so im able to drive away.."loose connection alternator failure" error messages on the dash
Few days later a short trip to newagent in the morning, when i return back to my car "loose connection security failure" unable to start engine - i return later that night and drive away.
My reliable independant garage have told me they cannot find a fault hahaha So im stuck and dont want to drive the car with a newborn baby knowing its capable of this?
What do you think the problem is? What do i do? Do i take it to fiat (how much for a test) or get a thorough search of the vehicle somewhere else even though my garage stated they couldnt find anything.some threads suggest it could be the ECU? What do you think? How much to get it repaired or replaced? Or is this not the case? Also I need to keep costs at a minimum
Any ideas or help would be really grateful..Thank you.
