have you tried to do the engine test youself at home by bridging te1 and e1 in the diognostics port and count how many times the engine light flash's and then look up the code

Theres no quick answer I am afraid as the problem could be a number of things. Best thing is to bridge te1 and e1 on the port once the light comes on and post back your findings. Then we aint guessing at random things it could be.

thanks , i will do and i will post the code here
 
i did the test and it is code num 12 , so i checked i wires of distributor and foun there is oil in the intake system after the FMIC it was from the turbo which i changed before 1 month , i did clean all the pipes and cleaned all sensors located at the intake mani , tested today i still have the same problem

The fault code relates to the signal from the distributor so I don't see oil in the intake being related mate.

Remove the distributor cap and rotor arm and inspect for wear and tear on the contact points. The centre point on the cap can wear down and the rotor arm can crack around the pick up area. Also ensure the connector on the distributor is secure and there are no loose connections or damage on the wiring. You should also check the wiring back to the ECU connector inside the car.

Hoping it's something simple,

Jay
