Anyone have any suggestions as to what could be causing a "loose connections" warning light to come on on a Fiat Stilo JTD , engine cuts out as if the ignition was switched off and will not start again. Starter will crank the engine over but it will not fire , have been cleaning terminals but as yet haven't found the cause.

Is that the engine management warning light to which you refer?

Dodgy ignition switch?

have a look at the fuse box under the dash,they normally fill up with water,i found them nearly impossible to save but they were pretty cheap

I know! I know!I know! I know!I know! I know!I know! I know!I know! I know!I know! I know!!!!!!!!

I have just done one at work, same symptoms exactly. It was the crank position sensor just abouve the starter motor, one M6 bolt holding it in, cost £32.50 from a factor

You do know , thanks for the tip Mark . Fitted one today and it fired up first touch of the key.

I love it when a plan comes together!
