Have you tried replacing the actuator switch?

probally rust in the tank that's clogged the pickup filter in the tank or the fuel filter. or if you're in a cold climate, gas could be frozen too.

I need more info. When was the last time the car ran? What did you do about the water in your tank? How was it running when you last had it started and does the car turn over at all when you engage the starter?

Different size tires and rims will make a difference on how your speedometer works. In order to correct this, you will either have to change your tire size, have the gears in the rear axel changed, or put a different speedometer gear or adapter on the transmission.

Vent return,or filter return,by pass.One is a by pass,one is a vent ,to the canister purge.the other is the main pressure line.

add some more trans fluid

head gaskets or rocker cover gaskets are leaking and burning on the exhaust

This sounds very much like a fuel filter or fuel pump issue. I would replace the fuel filter first, not too expensive or difficult to do, and never hurts to replace them anyway.
An indicator light coming on tells me that the computer is finding something, and probably pressure related. If the changing of the filter does minimal to improve the problem, see about checking the fuel pressure under acceleration to make sure it is within limits.
I'm not familiar with the Fiat, so I'm not sure what all components we are working with here. Other things that cause this are a fuel pressure regulator (noticeable if you are fine with slight acceleration only to "bog" when you throttle heavy), catalytic converter issues (make sure it is not "plugged up" and flow is unrestricted).

The modulater valve should be at the rear of the trans on passenger side, near the top and have a vacuum line going into it. Hope this helps.

autozone chilton manual for around 10.00 dollars

change fuel filter; add a can of SEAFOAM to Premium gas. add SEAFOAM every 3-5000 miles. ethanol gas problem. check the plugs, may need to be changed out also.

HAVE BATTERY CHECKED IF BATTERY IS FINE ,,THEN U HAVE A DEFECTIVE STARTER.....MAYBE BAD BATTERY CONNECTIONS

To start off you can probably get a manual at Autozone. To get a good idea of what's really going on in the engine you might want to check compression, wet and dry, check fuel output psi and do the basics, IE plugs, rotor and cap, plug wires, etc. At least if you do the checks you'll have an idea of the engines condition, if it's worth putting alot of money into. Please rate this and good luck.

look in the interior passenger side kick panel in front of the door where the panel and carpeting meet

Electrical gremlins are wierd. My guess is there is a ground unconnected. There is the main ground from the battery to the motor and probably a pigtail ground the the body.
