Re: 164 3.0 v6 24v poor throttle response!

Well,it looks like im beaten on this one for the time being until I can get some time off and spend a good 3 or 4 days getting it properly sorted out.

I disconnected the throttle switch on my alfa 75 and it made no difference to the running of it so I doubt thats what the problem is on my 164.

I'll order a new fuel filter and timing belt and maybe a lambda sensor as well and see if that helps.

I'm beginning to wonder if the spark plugs are maybe fouled up with it sitting so long.

I really dont think its the cam timing though as it starts and runs perfectly at idle and up to about 2.5k rpm, after which it seems to misfire and fluff,but I could be wrong.Must investigate further.
