Fiat 500 Multiair - Crank - No Start - No Compression - FIX!!!

If a Fiat 500 with the "Multiair" engine sits without running for too long, it may crank, but not start. This is one likely reason, and the solution.

As insane as this sounded, your Fiat was doing the exact same thing as my wife's. Gave this a shot and, sure enough, it finally came to life. Thank you so much!

OMG! The mechanic told me that I needed a NEW ENGINE due to no compression. I did not believe him because my car had just been sitting in my garage. I watched your video and I told the mechanic about it. He said that he had never heard of this. I said that we might as well try this----he did it and it worked!! Thanks!!

Just another scenario I thought I'd share... We got in a Fiat with the Multiair engine and it didn't have any compression. We bought it from auction and it had been sitting for a while. We tried the oil in the check valve process many times and couldn't get it to work so as a last resort we tried compressed air straight into the check valve while cranking. It worked! Runs great now.

This video was very helpful in helping me identify the issue. However, I did not have a helping hand, so I used the other method. I pulled the F21 (fuse #8), cranked the motor over 2 times for about 15 seconds, on the 3rd crank the compression came back. I put the fuse back in, cranked the motor, and she fired right up. Thank you so much for the help!!!!

Dude you saved my life!! I was already ordering a compression test kit, spark plugs and injectors coils! 🤟🏾
Your awesome for the quick tip and guide! Started after the third attempt.

I was able to get my 2013 500 started with the video and reading the comments i pulled the fuel pump fuse tried to start it a few times then put the fuse back in and it started without the risk of breaking the lil ball off in the brick. You are the best thanks

It worked!! My Fiat 500L had been sitting for a while. We tried this and it really worked. We had to charge the battery first. After that we tried maybe 3 times and was about to give up then I noticed a little oil in the well and tried one more time. It worked. Thank you for sharing.

Freakin A MAN!! You’re too awesome for this. I’m going to try this out when I get home. Mine had been sitting for months and I thought I was going to have to replace the whole engine. Then someone told me the crankshaft position sensor needs to be replaced. I’ll definitely try your method out first and go from there. I have a funny feeling that it’s gonna work!

Hi! It just happened to my Fiat 500. The same circumstance and symptoms. I also thought it was the timming belt... thank god it was not 🙏. Thanks for this great video.

[jeanettemoody]

THANK YOU!!! so much. I just tried this after being on vacation for 12 weeks and it WORKED!!! No major car repair bills for me. You are so awesome for sharing this.

Finally!!!! I wasn't able to find the answer anywhere else. I got splattered too but it was so worth it.

Got back from a 4 week vacation and the 2018 Fiat 500 C lounge no worky. Being in Arizona the heat can be a real battery killer. Tried charging battery but seemed okay. Did voltage check on battery, seemed okay although cranking voltage dropped to ~7 amps. Last minute thought was check for similar issue on YouTube and here we are. Your situation mirrored mine. Even same color vehicle but the 57 vintage style. Having the same Multi-air engine, the stated location for the bleed point was used while my assistant wife hit the ignition. Took about 4 attempts but when oil shot out of the oil filling port I knew we were getting somewhere. Took another 2 attempts but definitely could tell something was happening. Sure enough, baby Stella came back to life from the brink of utter financial car repairs. Thanks a bunch. I can be your 19th subscriber.

You saved me hours of work and frustration! I was sure it was the starter but checked YT one more time to be sure and found your video. Thanks!!

[pdkrace]

Thank you so much for this video. It will save a lot of people money. the dealer said it was the starter. Thank you again

THANK YOU, THANK YOU! My 2012 Fiat pop did this about one month ago as it is now garaged and not used much and besides I prefer bicycles. Luckily the mechanic I use lives down hill from me, so I coasted down and dropped it off. They replaced the crankshaft sensor to the tune of $185. Drove car home and it sat for about 2-3 weeks before I tried to start it again. No dice. Coasted it back down to mechanic. This time, he told me not to let it sit and explained what was happening as you said. He of course did NOT show me how simple it is to get it going again! Had been running it once a week and today it did the same thing! Undaunted I searched the web and found your video. IT WORKED! NO MORE COASTING TO MECHANIC! Thanks again.

[dobleVViolaverso]

Did it today, it really works. Thank you so much greetings from Guadalajara mate

[jamesjones]

This was great, I tried this and my vehicle fired right up.

[rachelleh]

Thank you so much for this video! We couldn’t figure out what was wrong with my daughter’s 500. Took a few minutes, and made a mess but it is up and running again!
