Alfa Romeo 156 TS Manual????

Hello All


I have recently acquired a beautiful 156 ts1.8 from my brother (v reg for a grand, 70,000 miles on her, I think I have had him : ).
Can anyone also help when I first start the car there is a delay in the accelerator pedal and there is a back fire coming from the engine, after about 10 mins it runs fine? I assume its a coil breaking down / or the cold start sensor is knackid (if it has one) / or air sensor? Thanks gents and hope to see you all at the next run out (if I can get her working properly!)

I also wish to have a dabble at changing the plugs etc, Im fairly mechanically minded as I play about with bikes too, but cannot for the life of me find a manual for the 156? anyone got one I can download?

there are no manuals available for the 156 at least thats what im told, try a new air flow sensor ( maf ) had the same problem with mine a while ago after changing it , it ran like a new car ????

I'm sure there was another post with other manuals such as the e-learn one ...

this is the linky ...

anybody know what program you need to open this ????

best thing is to google the extensions ... but I use winrar to open the .rar file and then nero to burn the .nrg file to disk (or better use a cd image program to simulate the cd player ...)

There are also some how-to's on my website ... including one for spark plugs ... link in my signature ... you're welcome to browse, use, etc.
