Hi all, My first post here so be gentle... I have Alfa GT 3.2 that I bought a couple of month ago. I have sorted out a couple of electronic gremlins so far. But I have a odd problem that I need some help with. When I switch on the high beam or flush the windscreen the engine cuts out about...

I'm about to start work on getting a 146 running again. At the moment my main concern is the engine. When it is started (after a long struggle) it sounds like it is struggling to run. Almost as if it's running out of petrol. And before you say anything, yes there is plenty of petrol in it :lol...

Had a scary moment on sunday....was casually cruising along at 80mph on the outside lane of the M25 (just past the Brands Hatch junction for all you motorsport fans) when I had a sudden loss of power and in the midst of confusion, I was down to 50mph before I realised there was a serious...

Hi! I have a problem with my 146TI (2001). The car runs ok on short trips, i.e. before it warms up. However, once it's warmed up, it cuts out when the engine drops back to idle, e.g. stopping at lights, and won't restart again until it's cooled. No warning lights, maybe an occasional stutter...

Hello, My 156 has started to cut out randomly whilst being driven. I have replaced the crank sensor but this has not cured the problem. It restarts after seemingly random periods of time. Has anyone had similar problems or have any ideas. Cheers Gethin

I've got a 1998 156 2.0 TSpark. Recently it started cutting out on me. The 1st time i was stuck in traffic and stated again after 20 mins or so. Then drove fine for 2 weeks - no problems. Next time it cut out I did maybe 15 miles on the motorway came off at a junction and cut out as I waited...

Hi All After changing the TB etc. with help from this forum and cam locks I restarted my 146 1.4 TS. Still sounds a little rough and now cuts out after 30minutes on idle. It will restart after 15-15minute rest. Any suggestions could it be a bad spark? Thanks Patrick Sorry for posting a 146...

Hi everyone I am new here. The real reason I have joined is because I am getting more than desperate with my current problem: When the car has warmed up completely and then gets into heavy London traffic it tends to run very chocky when pulling away from a red light or even cuts out...
