2001 Fiat Palio Repair Question
Mileage: 185,000 miles.
Fiat palio looses power, chokes and smokes, smoke is white and smells of fuel
Answer
Check the fuel pressure with a gauge if its within specs-start here
THE PROBLEM IS NOT CONSISTENT ... AFTER CHECKIN THE FUEL PRESSURE, HOW TO I STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN
Probable causes of an engine running rich are as follows:
1.Excessive fuel pressure can be cause by restricted fuel return line
2.Defective Oxygen Sensors.
3.Leaking injectors and fuel pressure regulator.
4.Coolant temperature sensor out of calibration.
5.Restricted air intake system.
PLS ADVICE: THE PROBLEM IS IRRATIC WHICH OCCURS AT ANY TIME.WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS THE POWER DROPS AND MISSES CAUSIN HEAVY WHITE SMOKE .COULD THE BREATHER OF THE ENGINE BE FAULTY OR THE EMS SENSOR ?
