Computer problem
2000 Other Fiat Models Manual
----------------------------------------------------------------
the car has a problem with starting. It does not show the key code icon and does not start. When we toed the car the key code flashes and when we then try to start the car it shows the key code and works. When i am in my driveway that has a downward slope the car shows the key code every time and car works every time what could be the problem and what can i do to fix it. They tell me its the computer box and want to charge me R14000 to fix it in dollars that would be $1500. I do not have this amount of cash and would really appreciate it if you could help me to fix this problem.

The model is an palio
Thanks
