Fiat Palio 1.9 Diesel Starting Problem and Solution
Posted by Praneel
The Problem: There are many complaints from owners about the faulty fuel pump indicator and the eventual low torque revving of Fiat Palio 1.9 Diesel . There are funny stories and elaborate nightmares in gruesome detail told by those who endured the service department’s sensible touch. Some sold their cars and some got them fixed for the time being. But there seems to be no real solution for this. Insurance company won’t cover it, because it is not a manufacturing defect (at least according to Fiat). And Fiat is not promising warranty on either the Repaired Pump (By TVSE motors – for Rs. 25,000 they change the Faulty sensor in the pump) or the new Pump (costs Rs. 75,000). As a bonus you have to pay it from your pocket. This is going to continue until Fiat accepts that it is a major screw-up in their manufacturing and rectifies it.
The Solution: You have to start the engine 2 to 3 times until the indicator goes off. Once started, then usually there is no problem (except some public embarrassment).

please reply sir,
i have facing one problem in my palio desel car.is what while car running some times indicate engine check symble .that time actulator was not working and many of uncontrol.so pls give me the solution for me.

If engine check symbol is on even after the engine starts it indicates sensor defect, which is a common problem in pre 2008 Fiat Palio Diesel cars. You will get little or no transmission if it is on.
You have 3 solutions.
1) Get the sensor replaced with a new one at any Fiat Service center – Costs about Rs 75,000.
2) Get a repaired sensor from any Fiat service center for Rs 25,000.
There is no warranty from Fiat in both methods. The part might fail immediately or in 2 months- which happened to many Palio Diesel owners.
Or else you can
3) Start and turn off the car 2 to 3 times and the indicator might turn off.
(or)
Try this- put the key in (don’t turn it yet) and start it with one quick turn all the way (from off to ignition). It works almost all the time.
Normal Procedure: Key in >> Twist to start battery power >> wait for the heater and pump indicators to go off >> Twist more to start ignition.
Solution procedure: Key in >> Twist all the way to start ignition.

But if your ignition heater coil indicator is ON, the problem is with one of the four heat sensors which can be replaced for RS 1,000 .

i am facing the same problem.. i do ur third method.. i.e start in one quick time… is it nt harmful for the vehicle? plz reply
December 27th, 2009 at 8:44 AM
Roshan, I didn’t have any problem for the past 4 years using that method. It’s just one faulty sensor. If you want to play it safe, you can turn the key from off to on (not to ignition) and back to off in 5 seconds then follow the 3rd procedure to start. This way you will be certainly giving the time required by the pump to fill up the chamber.

i have tried above 3rd method but it doesnt work and also there are no warning lights..

Get it checked immediately. It might be fixed with an oil or air filter change.
May 11th, 2010 at 12:33 PM
I have faced the same trouble with the ignition pump light and subsequent choking of the car performance. Unfortunately due to lack of good understanding with mechanics, there are various diagnosis (if anyone knows of a good mechanic in delhi NCR, please let me know). The solution of first turning on the colis and (step 1) and then immediately turning the key to ignition seems to do the trick for now. I must say though that for all my love of the car (last 4 years), getting spares and service are certainly a pain!

Hi i am facing a different problem which my fiat palio 1.9D engine is reworked in Bosh service centre, Before rework of engine the engine will start just like that and it will rock on the road with a good pickup and milage. My brother drove the car without seeing the tem gauage due to oil pup failure the engine got more heated and seazed. Now i reworked the engine but i am facing starting proble.
When i start in the morning with twice or thrise putting heater the car will start in few seconds but after drive it for a kilometer and if switch off the car and i try to start it won’t start it will give a noice like low battery the engine won’t crank properly.
I have changed a new battery but same problem, so once i swiched off the car i have wait for 15min and then if i start the car it will start, so every time when i stop the car i for any reason i have to wait for 15min or some times 30min to start it again.
Also the pickup is very poorthe engine noice is too high. If i switch on the AC the engine check light will start glow and the speed of the car reduced 50% immediately. to get the normal accelaration i have to switch off the AC and also i have to restart the car.
The Machenic in the Boseh service centre told that some sensor problem not able to findout.
Someone please let me knw what will be the problem and what will be the solution for this. I don’t want to sell this car because i have already spend arround 75000 for the re work of engine and tyres.
January 20th, 2011 at 10:33 AM
If the engine is starting again after 30 min, it could be a problem with cooler fan fuse or one of the heat sensors, which can be fixed easily by replacing the sensor or just cleaning it and checking the wiring for loose connections. I had this problem and it was fixed easily by local service by checking the right side cable bundle under the steering and fixing a loose connection, but it reappeared thrice later getting fixed with the same solution. The car later had battery recharge problem, power steering failure and transmission failure.
It is a good car and it was hard for me to sell it. I tried to fix it for more than the amount you mentioned to no avail. Finally I sold it for less than the amount I paid for repairs. I can empathize with you, but the fact is, you have to sell it or keep loosing money.
January 20th, 2011 at 4:42 PM
Hi Thanks for your reply, i don’t want to sell the car because it is running properly once it get started only problem is its not get starting easly whe it was in heat, Also i checked with the CONCORD people they checked the ECM with the examinar and told that the fuel pump have some problem the position sensor is not working in the fuel pump and suggested to repair the fuel pump and other things have no issues.
Is it right please let me know your comments.

Hi,
I am facing a problem in my Fiat Palio 1.9 D ELX model, the engine was overhalled by the bosch service centre from there my car is not starting when it is warm. When the engine is cold the car starts normaly but once its get heated if i cut off the engine and if i start it, it won’t start it will give noice like battery low but the battery is full charged, I have to leave the car for 30min to get cool and if i start now it will get start.
This problem is giving more problem in city traffic and don’t what could be the issue.
Can any help me what could be the problem and how to fix it?.
Is it the same as the Crank shaft sensor?.
Thanks & Regards,
Vasanth.
June 28th, 2011 at 10:37 AM
Hi Vasanth,
This might be caused by a faulty heat sensor. I got the same problem with my Palio and the car even stopped after driving for 30 min. Then I had to let it cool down for a while to get started again. One local car electrician had many such complaints and he took a radical approach by removing the heat sensor connection. He did the same to my car until he got the sensor replaced after 3 weeks. Better get it fixed right away since their service is a bit faster now. The sensor does not cost much, afaik below Rs. 5000.
Hope that helps
September 20th, 2011 at 6:34 PM
in my palio i changed power stearing belt and pully several times
wht is the problem, once i change it works only belo 3000kms
October 5th, 2011 at 1:31 PM
Hi,
I have changed the Heat sensor but the problem didn’t fix, here my problem is once the car engine reached 40-50 degree C heat if i switch off the car it won’t start immediately it will crank like a low battery symptom, even if i change new battery at that time it won’t start, once the heat is reduced to 10-20 degree then only it will start.
Due to this reason now i have rebuild the engine again but till the problem is not solved.
It seems when it is hot the full power from the battery is not supplied to starter, is there any possible for this please help me i have spend a lot for this car so i don’t want to sell this.
Any one give me the solution.
Thanks,
Vasanth.

Scanner, spare parts, spare parts cost and technical know how unavailibilty for fiat diesel 1.9 litre palio cars in india.
Almost all 1.9 litre diesel palio of the 2003/2004 model in the country have developed a technical snag in the country. There are tons and tons of complaints of a similar nature which can be viewed in google if the fiat service team is really considers customer service as a belief in its organization . Yet fiat India’s head honchos remain oblivious to the fact and are not ready to accept that this Is a manufacturing defect. Some of the most common defects are
1) fuel ignition sensor problem repairing which does not warranty proper functioning
2) Startup and idling/standby problems
3) Spare part,repairing and technical know-how which are more expensive than the car itself
Though the car is beauty in its power and pickup I have spent more amount on car repairs other than it regular servicing and maintenance than the cars original value.
I hope the fiat guys actually reads this and revert too

February 16th, 2012 at 9:58 PM
Dear friends
The Palio 1.9 ELX engine starting problem solved by my mechanic replace orignal fuel pump in to FORD IKON fuel pump it is match no trouble,no need sensor connection,replace acclerator pedal in to wire control pedal it is only soluction for palio 1.9 elx problems.
April 27th, 2012 at 10:46 PM
hi,
i have palio diesel 2004 model,
i have problem of ignition heater indicators light not comes on due to which car doesnt start, i am fed up with this problem, i will never advice even my enemy to buy fiat palio, i will sell it when the problem will be solved, the most worse car on earth is fiat, they don’t have spare parts, and neither proper trained mechanics, tata indica mechanics repair fiat cars, and they dont know about sensors of fiat, so my advice is never buy fiat cars

my palio 1.9 diesel has a very different problem after starting the starting the engine i have to switch off the engine and start it again because after starting the engine first time the car does not gives the Excelerator, but after starting the engine second time it works perfectly i have visited many workshops but the problem is
not solve still now,
after starting the car with the key it does not switch off with the key and after switching off the key the key
comes out but the engine still is on
September 25th, 2012 at 2:49 PM
Hi Suresh,
First of all how you are saying the fuel pump is not working. Second find out the code using the scanner. The error code will gives the info of where is the fault. If the crank shaft is fault means the pump won’t supply diesel. Let me know in detail i will give the solution for that. I have a better experience in Palio 1.9D.
I have faced lot of issue and have fixed everything using the farms and the info in the internet in step by step.

September 25th, 2012 at 3:03 PM
Hi souvik,
If the accelerator is not working at the first time and working after restating means there may be an issue with the position sensor in the fuel pump. First scan the ECM and find out the error code. Let me know the error code i will give a solution. If it is really a position sensor error in the fuel pump it cost more. Instead of repairing it you can do a alteration of fixing the ford ikon 1.8D fuel pump which mechanical pump.
After starting the car, the car is not switching off through the key means there is a shot circuit in the electrical wiring. Check the fuse, relay and the wires at the side of the coolent tank. replace the 5 pin relay at the side of the coolent and the shock absorber. Don’t give the car for service who doesn’t know about the fiat technologies. The fiat technology is not too complicate if one really understand it.

Vasanth.
September 27th, 2012 at 2:13 PM
What would be the cost of changing fuel pump from Fiat 1.9D to Fort Ikon 1.8D with mechanical pump including labour cost? Please help me out, I am in badly need of it.
Thanking you.
September 28th, 2012 at 10:30 AM
It cost around 18-20K including labour. Before do this first check where there is really problem in your fuel pump. Because most of the mechanic’s doesn’t know about it. If you have the error code which generated when scanning you can check with Lucus TVS in mumbai. The will let you know how much it will cost for servicing,The service depend on which sensor is issue in the pump. Sometimes it will works out cheaper too. Check before changing the fuel pump.
Where are you from? do you have a good mechanic to do the fuel alteration?. Do it with a well knowledged mechanic.
September 29th, 2012 at 4:19 PM
Hi! Vasanth,
The error code on my 1.9 D palio is 0322 which means Ignition/Distributor Engine Speed circuit no siganl . Do you have any idea ? The engine does not crank at all. When i clear the DTC ,i get the message “System is OK” then one in 10 times ,the engine cranks for few seconds and then stops. I started my own Car Scanning business just few months ago in New Delhi.But i have never had much experience with Fiat Palio . If you any idea,please share.
Thanks,

Hi! Vasanth,
you were absolutely right. My mechanic found the crankshaft sensor just very close to starting motor(self),he removed it & we clean it but before connecting it, we scanned once again & we found the same DTC P0322 & then we connected it & this error code gone & the message was System OK ,we managed to crank the engine offcourse because of your kind information that u shared with me. After few minutes,we scanned once again & now we are getting error P0310 which means to do Throttle position sensor error.Can you help me again to locate this & also if you have factory service manual,please share the information.
Thank u sooooooooooo much.

October 1st, 2012 at 5:51 PM
Hi! Vasanth,
In my last reply, i mistyped it as P0310 ,it is P0510 which states here : -

I bought a 2nd hand Palio 1.3 MJD which had done 80k and after driving it for last 5 months i am getting the injector signal and heater signal on on the console. The heater signal blink 3 times and then switches off and then the injector signal stays on. Any help on this as the nearest service station is 250+ km from my town. Thanks in advance.

Hi Vasanth,
Can u pls suggest me what i need to do for my car(palio 1.9 d elx)i am facing the same problem pump light.
I already sent once to mumbai for error rectification, it was fine for 10 months now the problem again aroused & i am totally broken with this issue, i have given to mechanic even he is stuggling to find a alternative pump(which is currently running)for replacment.
My mechanic also suggested for altering with TOYOTA pump, I am not sure about this idea.
Kindly let me know what measures have u taken?
Is ur car is completely fine without any trouble with pump light?
What shuld I do, suld I go for replacement or with alteration with toyota pump.
Your help is really valuable for me, I almost spent 1.5L for this car for break booster,pump rectification once in mumbai,engine work,tyres,oil pump for leakage issue and suspension problem.
Thanks in adance

HI Harsha,
Call me and let me know the current situation, we will find the solution. Changing TOYOTA pump is not easy and the mechanic should have better experience in this process. If you need to replace the pump i have a guy who is having the good running pump itself.

I am having (Palio 1.9 D 2004).I am from delhi. My car have the same issue (Pump Problem – Error code P0510). i have read all the complaints about fiat palio,Is there any permanent solution of this problem….? Is this problem effect other parts of engine.I am sure the customer don’t have only one major issue, infact in most of the cases customer complaint about heating the car, which is because of Car Fan’s. If it is manufacturing fault then why not to Sue the
company through legal procedure?
Kindly advice….

Hi
Im new to fiat
Im buyed second handled fiat Palio d 1.9
I have only one problem with starting…
Its takes many times to start and some times also the battery charge will be down,
I once checked with mechanic, he told repair the starter
Is that correct or any methods is there?
Please replay sir…
July 29th, 2013 at 10:42 AM
Hi Chandru,
If the engine is running smooth without any timing issue and the battery is in good condition, then sure the starter will be the problem.
The battery should be DIN60 or DIN65 for Palio 1.9D, if you use the lower rating battery there also you will face these kind of issue.
Regards,
Vasanth.
July 29th, 2013 at 3:19 PM
Hi vasanth
You’re right im using din60 battery,I checked with mechanic, he told it is good,
But its charge downs when I try to start the engine 4-5 times
Also im pulling the car to start when the battery downs, it will be start finely
Im confused?… replay sir

Hi all! I have a petra D elx. Driven 1,20,000kms. I m very happy with the car. No warning lights no fuel pump issues till date. I wonder how i m spared by fiat that my car and pump are going sooo strong. It still is a head turner and blast to drive. I never feel like upgrading even after seeing modern cars. This car is the best and such car is not made anymore. I LOVE MY PETRA.

Should you be actually slightly serious, twenty-four hours a day
capture myself the e mail.
Appreciate your website submit. Jackson i are actually

Your notions really cleared up our problems. In fact, in excess of that which you acquired considered prior to enough time we

Hai Vasanth,i own palio 1.9 d 2003 and clocked 67000 km .Indeed an excellent car. NO warning , sensor issues till date, but I faced lot of other issues like white smoke , poor morning starting ( solved by multiple pre heating), temperature rise starting issue , high vibration while accelerating (replaced engine mounts),and your valuable advice is really helpful in resolving many issues. now my AC needs refilling in every 3 months.

according to my vision fiat palio 1.9 diesel is really an comfortable one. The starting problem of your car is due to the problem with the ECM relay or fuse(which is assembled very closely to the battery cabin). The only thing to solve this problem is to, please replace that relay and fuse as soon as possible and dont worry that it is not costly……

Hello Vasanth and Others!
I have a Palio 1.9 D which has a similar problems as reported by you on October 5th, 2011. The vehicle starts and runs but if switched off, I have to wait 20 to 30 minutes for it to start again. I thought it was a battery issue and changed it but no improvement.
Please let me know how you solved this issue.

Probably it’s a faulty heat sensor. Get it replaced or disconnected until replacement (at your own risk).

In my fiat palio 1.9D, i am having problem. The next day after using the car, i found that the checking lamp and heater coil is not working. But rest of the indicators like hand brake, engine oil level indicator, battery indicators are glowing. When i cranked its getting cranked. But vehicle is not starting. I checked all the fuses in engine side and fuse panel which is in the steering side. Any ideas and guides in this regard, will be appreciated. Please help me to get service manual and electrical wiring manual. Thanks in advance.
