The following pages are Intended to help In dealing with common roadside emergencies and breakdowns. You will find more detailed fault finding information at the back of the manual, and repair Information In the main chapters.
If your car won't start
and the starter motor
doesn't turn
If your car won't start
even though the starter
motor turns as normal
tf it's a model with automatic transmission, make sure the selector is in P or N. Open the bonnet and make sure that the battery terminals are clean and tight. Switch on the headlights and try to start the engine. If the headlights go very dim when you're trying to start, the battery is probably flat. Get out of trouble by Jump starting (see next page) using a friend's car.
• Is there fuel In the tank? • Is there moisture on electrical components under the bonnet? Switch off the ignition, then wipe off any obvious dampness with a dry cloth. Spray a water-repellent aerosol product (WD-40 or equivalent) on ignition and fuel system electrical connectors like those shown in the photos. Pay special attention to the ignition coil wiring connector and HT leads. (Note that Diesel engines don't normally suffer from damp.)
A
Check that the spark plug HT leads are securely connected by pushing them onto the plugs (petrol engine models).
B
Check that the wiring to the engine compartments is securely connected.
C
Check the security and condition of the battery terminals,
Check that electrical connections are secure (with the ignition switched off) and spray them with a water dispersant spray tike WD40II you suspect a problem due to damp

spark
plug from No 1 cylinder as described in Chapter 1A. 8 Firmly apply the handbrake, then |ack up
the
front of the car and support it securely on iiia stands (see Jacking end vehicle support). 9 Remove the auxiliary drivebelt(s) as described in Chapter 1A. 10 Unbolt and remove the timing belt cover. Mole the bolt located at the bottom of the
coven
this can be easily overlooked. 11 Undo the three bolts and remove the crankshaft pulley from the sprocket (see {lustration). 12 Turn Ihe engine in its normal direction of rotation (using a socket or spanner on Ihe crankshaft sprocket centre bolt) until pressure an be felt at No

13 Continue turning the engine until the crahaft sprocket TDC timing mark is aligned with the mark on the cylinder head and the crankshaft sprocket timing mark is aligned with the mark on the oil pump cover (see ilustrations). 14 The engine is now set at TDC for No 1 cylinder on compression.
3 Cylinder compression test t ^
1 When engine performance Is down, or if misfiring occurs which cannot be attributed to tne ignition or fuei systems, a compression isst can provide diagnostic clues as to the
2.13a Camshaft sprocket and cylinder head TDC timing marks (arrowed) aligned -shown with timing belt removed engine's condition. II the test is performed regularly, it can give warning of trouble any other symptoms become apparent. 2 The engine must be fully warmed-up to normal operating temperature, the battery must be fufly charged, and all the spark plugs must be removed (Chapter 1A). The aid of an assistant will also be required. 3 Disable the ignition system by dis-connecting the LT wiring plug to the ignition coils. 4 Fit a compression tester to the No 1 cyl-inder spark plug hole - the type of tester which screws into the plug thread is to be preferred, 5 Have the assistant hold the throttle wide open, and crank the engine on the starter motor; after one or two revolutions, the compression pressure should build up to a maximum figure, and then stabilise. Record the highest reading obtained. 6 Repeat the lest on the remaining cylinders, recording the pressure in each. 7 All cylinders should produce very similar pressures; any excessive difference indicates the existence of a fault. Note that the compression should build up quickly in a healthy engine; low compression on the first stroke, followed by gradually increasing pressure on successive strokes, indicates worn piston rings. A low compression reading on the first stroke, which does not build up during successive strokes, indicates leaking valves or a blown head gasket (a cracked head could also be the cause). 8 If the pressure in any cylinder is very low. carry out the following test to isolate the cause. Introduce a teaspoonful of clean oil into that cylinder through its spark plug hole and repeat the test. 9 If the addition of oil temporarily improves the compression pressure, this indicates that bore or piston wear Is responsible for the pressure loss. No improvement suggests that leaking or burnt valves, or a biown head gasket, may be to blame. 10 A low reading from two adjacent cylinders is almost certainly due to the head gasket having blown between them; the presence of coolant in the engine oil will confirm this. 11 If one cylinder is about 20 percent lower
2.13b Crankshaft sprocket and oil pump cover TDC timing marks (arrowed) aligned
than the others and Ihe engine has a slightly rough idle, a worn camshaft lobe could be the cause. 12 On completion of the test, refit the spark plugs and reconnect the ignition LT wiring plug.
4 Timing belt and covers -removal and refitting ^
Note: Fiat specify the use of a special timing belt fens/on measuring toot to correctly set tho timing belt tension. If access to this equipment cannot be obtained, an approximate setting can be achieved using the method described below. It the method described is used, the tension must be checked using the special tool at the earliest possible opportunity. Do not drive the vehicle over large distances, or use high engine speeds, until the belt tension is known fo be correct. Refer to a Fiat dealer foradvSce.
General information 1 The function of the timing belt is to drive Ihe camshaft and coolant pump. Should the belt slip or break In service, the valve timing will be disturbed and piston-to-valvo contact will occur, resulting in serious engine damage, 2 The timing belt should be renewed ai the specified intervals (see Chapter 1A), or earlier if it is contaminated with oil. or if it is at all noisy in operation (a scraping noise due to uneven wear). 3 If the timing belt is being removed, it Is a wise precaution to check the condition of the coolant pump at the same time (check for signs of coolant leakage). This may avoid the need to remove the timing belt again at a later stage, should the coolant pump fall.
Removal 4 Firmly apply the handbrake, then jack up the front of the car and support it securely on axle stands (see Jacking and vehicle support). Remove the right-hand front road wheel. 5 Remove the air cleaner and air ducting as described in Chapter 4A or 46. 6 Remove the auxiliary drivebelt(s) and the spark plugs as described in Chapter 1A.

4.8 Undo three bolts and romove tho crankshaft pulley from the sprocket
Crankshaft setting toot fabrication 7 To make Ihe crankshafl setting tools, four old spark plugs will be required, together with four lengths of dowel rod. The length of each dowel rod is not critical, bul It must be long enough to protrude about 100 mm above the top of the cylinder head extension when resting on top of a piston located half way down its bore. What is critical, however, is that all four do wo I rods must be exactly the same length. 8 Break off the ceramic upper section of each plug and remove the centre electrode and earth tip. The easiest way to do this is to mount each spark plug in a vice (attar removing the ceramic uppor plug section) and drill a hole down through ihe centre of the plug. The diameter of Ihe drill bit should be the same as Ihe diameter of Ihe dowol rod to be used. When finished you should have four spark plug bodies and four equal length dowel rods which will slide through the centre of the spark plugs.

4 Timing belt and covers -removal and refitting §
General information 1 The luncUon of the timing belt Is to drive the camshafts and coolant pump. Should the bell slip or creak in service, the valve timing will be disturbed and piston-to-valve contact wiu occur, resulting in serious engine damage. 2 The timing belt should be renewed at the specified Intervals (see Chapter 1A), or earlier If It is contaminated with oil, or if it is at all noisy In operation (a scraping noise due to uneven wear}. 3 If the timing belt is being removed, it is
a
wise precaution to check the condition of the coolam pump at the same time (oheck for signs of coolant leakage). This may avoid the need to remove the timing belt again at a later stage, should the coolant pump fail. 4 Before carrying out this procedure, it will be necessary to obtain or fabricate suitable camshaft locking tools and piston positioning tools as described in Section 2. The procedures contained In this Section depict the use of the home-made alternative tools described in Section 2. which were fabricated In the Haynes workshop. If the manufacturers tools are being used instead, the procedures are virtually identical. Oo not attempt to remove the timing bell unless the special totfs or their alternatives are available.
Removal 5 Disconnect the battery negative terminal (refer to Disconnecting the battery in the Reference Section of Ihis manual). 6 Remove the auxiliary drivebelt(s) as described In Chapter 1A. 7 Remove the air cleaner, Inlet air duct and resonator as desenbed In Chapter 4B. 8 Undo the three bolts and remove the crankshaft pulley from the sprocket (see illustration). 9 Undo the retaining bolt In the centre of the lower liming cover (see illustration). 10 Undo tho uppor timing cover upper retaining bolt, and the rear retaining bolt located above the alternator (see illustration). 11 Release the crankshaft TDC sensor wiring from the clip on the upper timing cover, then withdraw the cover slightly and slide Ihe wiring plug and socket from the liming cover slot (see illustrations). 12 Release the TDC sensor wiring from the periphery ol the upper and fower timing covers and remove both covers (see Illustrations). 13 Free the accelerator inner cable from the throttle cam, remove the outer cable spring dip, then pull the outer cable out from its mounting bracket rubber grommet. 14 From the side of the throttle body, disconnect the wiring connectors from the

4A*2 Fuel system - single-point petrol Injection models
1 General information and precautions
General information The iAW Weber-Marelli single point Injection (SPI) system is a self-contained engine management system, which controls both the fuel Injection and Ignition (see Illustration), This Chapter deals with the fuel Injection system components only - refer to Chapter 5B for details ol the ignition system components. The fuel Injection system comprises a fuel tank, an electric fuel pump, a fuel filter, fuel supply and return lines, a throttle body with an integral electronic fuel Injector, and an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) together with its associated sensors, actuators and wiring. The fuel pump delivers a constant supply of fuel through a cartridge fitter to the throttle body, and the fuel pressure regulator (integral with the throttle body) maintains a constant fuel pressure at the fuel injector and returns excess fuel to the tank via the return line. This
constant flow system also helps to reduce fuel temperature and prevents vaporisation. Tne fuel injeclor Is opened and closed by an Electronic Control Unit (ECU), which calculates the injection timing and duration according to engine speed, throttle position and rate of opening, Inlet air temperature, coolant temperature and exhaust gas oxygen content information, received from sensors mounted on the engine. inlet air is drawn Into the engine through the air cleaner, which contains a renewable paper filter element. The inlet air temperature is regulated by a vacuum operated valve mounted in the air ducting, which blends air at ambient temperature with hot air, drawn from over the exhaust manifold. Idle speed is controlled by a stepper motor located on the side of the throttle body. Cold starling enrichment is controlled by the ECU using the coolant temperature and inlet air temperature parameters to increase the injector opening duration. The exhaust gas oxygen content is constantly monitored by the ECU via the Lambda (oxygen) sensor, which is mounted in
me exhaust downpipe. The ECU then uses this Information to modify the Injection timing and duration to maintain the optimum air/fuel ratio. An exhaust catalyst Is fitted to all SPI models. The ECU also controls the operation of the activated charcoal filter evaporative loss system • refer to Chapter 4D for further details. It should be noted that fault diagnosis of the I IAW Weber-Marelli system is only possible with dedicated electronic test equipment. Problems with the system should therefore be I referred to a Flat dealer for assessment. Once i the fault has been Identified, the I removal/refitting procedures detailed in the following Sections can then be followed.

Removal Note: Refer fo (he warning given in Section 1 before proceeding. 1 Disconnect the battery negative terminal (refer to Disconnecting the battery In the Reference Section of this manual). 2 Depreasurise the fuel system as described in Section 9. 3 Remove the rear soat as described In Chapter 11. Prise the fuel pump access cover out of the floor panel to gain access to the pump unit. On later models, undo the three retaining screws to release the cover. 4 Disconnect the wiring connector. 5 Bearing In mind the warning given In Section t, disconnect Ihe fuel supply and, where applicable, the return lines from tho pump unit by pressing the tabs. Plug the ends of the lines or cover them with adhesive tape. 6 Using a suitable tool, unscrew the large ring nut and carefully withdraw the fuel pump/fuel tank sender unit assembly from the fuel tank, along with its sealing rtng. 7 If necessary, the unit can be dismantled and the pump and sender unit separated. If this is (he case, carefully note the correct fitted positions of all components while dismantling the unit, and use these notes on reassembly to ensure that all items are correctly fitted.
Refitting 8 Refitting is a reversal of the removal procedure using a new sealing ring. Prior to refitting the access cover, reconnect the battery, then start the engine and check the fuel line unlon(s) (or signs of i

9 Fuel injection system -depressurisatton
Note: Refer to the warning given In Section 1 before proceeding.
A
Warning: The following procedure will merely relieve the pressure In the fuel system • remember that fuel will still be present In the system components and take precautions accord-ingly before disconnecting any of them. 1 The fuel system referred to in this Section is defined as the lank-mounted fuel pump, tha fuel filter, the fuel rail, the fuel injectors, and the metal pipes and flexible hoses of the fuel lines between these components. All these contain fuel which will be under pressure while the engine Is running and/or while the Ignition is switched on. The pressure will remain for some time after the Ignition has been switched off. and must be relieved before any of these components are disturbed for servicing work. 2 Disconnect the battery negative terminal (refer to Disconnecting the battery In the Reference Section of this manual). 3 Have a large rag ready to cover the union to be disconnected and, if possible, place a con-tainer beneath the relevant connection/union. 4 Slowly loosen the connection or union nut (as applicable) to avoid a sudden release of pressure, and ensure that the rag is wrapped around the connection to catch any fuef spray which may be expelled. Once the pressure is released, disconnect the fuel line, and Insert plugs to minimise fuel loss and prevent the entry of dirt Into the fuel system. Note that on later models, quick-release fuel couplings are used on many of the fuel line connections. To release these couplings, depress the two clips on the side of the coupling while keeping the fuel line pushed In. With the clips depressed, slowly withdraw the fuel line from the coupling allowing the fuel pressure to release, then withdraw the fuel line fully.
