Injection System Failure warning light on Fiat Doblo?
Hi, this light used to go off when the engine started. Yesterday, I switched on the engine, and after a few seconds it cut out. After driving the car, came to a junction, cut out again. This time the warning light came on and stayed on until I reached my destination. When I restarted the car, it didnt come on and was fine driving around. This morning, I was driving the car, (no light came on) but the car cut out at some traffic lights (starts straight away) then cut out whilst driving around a roundabout (right in the middle of the road) thankfully the other drivers were patient whilst I restarted the car. This light still did not come on. I have checked the manual and it says this warning light will stay on to indicate imperfect operation of the injection system with possible loss of performance. Prolonged use of the vehicle (how long is that) can cause engine damage.
Does anybody know exactly what this means, and how the problem can be sorted. Does it have to go to a garage only to cost a fortune?
Thanks for your suggestions in advance.
Hi Will
Thanks for the advice but I am in the United Kingdom.
Same advice for the UK – the car should be taken to any garage for a plug in diagnosis.
When the light stays on, a fault code is stored that should tell the garage where the fault is. It could be a five minute, cheap fix, or something more complex, you won’t know until you get it checked.
Use an independent garage rather than a main dealer.
go to auto zone and they will check your car with a code reader. and tell you what is that your car needs. or they can erase the code for a while. but the codes will come back. it’s your choice. and it’s free to check. also they only have a code reader for 1996 and up.

Buy a can of Injector cleaner and bung it in the fuel tank that should cure it.
