alfa 156 throttle body electronic or cable

Can anybody tell if the throttle body on my alfa 156 x reg (2000) is electronic or cable?

A 2000 "X" reg is right on the changeover from cable to electronic throttle.

Very easy to spot though because the electronic won't have a throttle cable...!

Re: alfa 156 throttle body electronic or cable

On the same note, I am buildng an engine for the very same and there seems to be a missing loom ,as in wiring. The connection to the alternator is missing , is this connected firstly to the starter motor and moves on from there to the alternator, is it just the same on one of these engines as its predecessors, there is one, small guage cable there , that goes to the smaller terminal of the alternator, but no larger one. Could this be scourced separately, as it has disappeared on its own and doesn,t tie up with anything in the engine bay.
Sorry this a long shot as not easy to answer unless someone has such a engine dismantled and engine bay visible for identification!
