Motor system failure after track driving

Hello guys.. I've taken my '03 147 GTA which has only 20k km to the track..

Car ran great but there was fuel starvation at one corner..

Fuel guage was showing there are still 1/5 of fuel, but it went down to empty after a few minutes..

Since then, motor system failure messege is on.. I tried to reset the car as plug in-and-out the battery, but it's still there. Car drives just fine though. My car is stock except Autodelta air filter, Ferodo brake pads and Arqray front pipe.

I really want to scan the car, but there's no Alfa dealer around..
What system does 147 GTA use? Which car maker's diagnostic tool can be shared? Obviously it doesn't have OBDII system...

Can anyone help me??

Alfadiag is a great tool you can use to connect to the OBD-II connector. The software can be purchased from:
Alfadiag.net

A cheap OBD converter is avalible at, look at the recomended adapters on the alfadiag site:
ECUFix.com

I've used the alfadiag software on my 147 GTA -03 toghether with a serial->OBD adapter and it works great. However, make sure you have a serial port fitted to your laptop since most USB->Serial adapter does not support the required baudrates.

Hope this helps,

I dont think it will work, found this in the Alfadiag->FAQ:

Q. Does AlfaDiag support ELM based interfaces?
A. AlfaDiag does not support or function with ELM based interfaces.

There are two links to products from ecufix which are supported on Alfadiag->Links. I would stick to those recommended choices.

I had a motor system failure and the car drove fine afterwards.

It was a lamda sensor that had gone - maybe that is worth checking?

I had this message some time back but it disappeared and never came back!
