Fiat Linea: Engine warning light on, unstable engine and loss of power

I recently noticed that the check engine light on my Fiat Linea is always on and the engine runs unsteadily. There is a significant loss of power, especially on the highway, to the point that I cannot overtake any vehicles. I have limited my driving to the city limits because of this. Can anyone provide a solution or suggest what might be causing these problems?

The symptoms you're describing could be due to a number of issues, but a common cause is a malfunctioning Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor. This sensor measures the amount of air entering the engine and if it's not working properly, it can cause the engine to run poorly and lose power. You can try cleaning the MAF sensor with a cleaner specifically designed for this purpose. If the problem persists, it might need to be replaced. However, it's also important to get the error codes read from your car's computer. This will give you a more accurate idea of what's causing the check engine light to come on. Please update us on your progress.
