Faulty fuel pump

I purchased a Fiat Palio 1.9 D in Jan,2005 which was manufactured in 2004. It has always troubled me every year for the fuel pump sensor errors. The light of engine error does not go when the engine starts in the morning.. then it goes off after the engine is started again. This happens every year.. i think the pumps were faulty and the dealers nvertold the customers about this. I had to get this pump serviced every year. it was free during first year but i paid 7000 to the dealer next time, for 2 years. now again the same problem.... But the dealer has closed down the authorised shop and runs a workshop which has no engine analysers.. Is TATA having Engine analysers ??? i doubt as they are selling only new fiat vehicles with improved engines.
Can the sensors be bypassed??? or there should be some other rememdy for this problem. i always use Hispeed/xtra mile diesel... still i face this problem... please help..

Hello sir...its a problem related to the sensors inside the pump...i run a car service centre at chennai...and we were authorised dealers for fiat when the company was running...as far as this problem is concerned, we are trained in repairing this problem and can solve your issue if you can manage getting your car to chennai...the sensors inside the pump require replacement and we source it from the plant and get it done...

Try putting a separate fuel pump from any autoparts store just bypass the one you have. wiring and lines could be used to install new one also change fuel filter.

Fiat palio 1.6 16v poor idling and engine cutting have replaced idle control valve and map sensor stil problem is there and p0170 code

Need more information about car. How many miles? Is the problem all the time? Is the car stock or has it been modified with bigger injectors, fuel pump, fuel regulator? If it is modified for more fuel you need to trick the oxygen sensors into reading less fuel.

If the car is stock: Any condition that causes the engine to run lean such as a weak fuel pump, a clogged fuel filter, or a faulty fuel pressure regulator

Any condition that causes the engine to run rich such as a mass air flow sensor, manifold absolute pressure sensor, or a faulty fuel pressure regulator

A faulty powertrain control module.
