Hi,
My Alfa 156 cuts or out or fails to start every now and then, the worst cutting out at busy junctions ! ERRR LOL !
I have read some threads and they suggest the RPM Sensor. l have found the RPM Sensor (or should I say felt) at the back of the block behind the starter but I have a big problem I can't get the bolt out. I have the cuts, burns and bruises to show for it.
The bolt holdling the sensor in place I am not sure about I have tried 5mm hex heads but with no look.. I have taken the throttle housing off which wasn' to difficult but I still can't get in far enough, the hoses near the gearbox always seem in the way as does various wireing.
I have had a look at takeing the black plastic intakes off at the back of the engine but I cant figure out the rigid pipe at the passenger side it looks fixed lower down to the block ,Is this an engine out Job ? It cant be !
I would be very greatfull of any help. I have also tried the wireing to the MAF that seems ok I have cleaned the earths up on the passenger side and also checked the reset button for the fuel cut off under the seat.
Any recomendations for the right tools and the best way to tackle this or how to get the plastic intakes off the back of the engine.
Thanks
