Hey you guys have me beat with the innuendo! Can you help me depressurise my fuel rail MrsAlfa?

Thanks guys!

Most modern cars look like amorphous blobs of sheise IMHO Where is the drama? The style? SUVs are ok on a farm, that's why I have one. For stump pulling, fording, etc etc, but it's a proper jeep, not a dumbass SUV.

Thanks for such a quick reply Smaky! I guess the next step for me is to then get 4 coilpacks and an ECU so I can start the car again to test it. Cats are so expensive - is it practical to clean it?

Hi all, Smaky, are you around please? And people who might be able to help - pls save an Alfa from being scrapped I originally posted this at alfa156.net http://forum.alfa156...2580&PN=1&TPN=1 Since then I took a hammer to the ECU to vent my frustrations! Should've keep running on 3 cyclinders now I have to walk miles to get a pack of cigarettes I'd be really annoyed if it wasn't an ECU problem and I added that step for no reason. I know they don't go bad too often. As I said, I had no sensor errors at all. Have not performed a leakdown test or compression test. I forgot to mention before I went to test the ECU I finished rewiring the brown loom connector and tested the coilpack connectors. I even measured the springs in the coilpacks to make sure they were actually compressed 3mm by the spark plugs so were connecting well. The state of the ecu connectors were as bad as those main loom connectors - very oxidised and gold worn off. I also tested the resistances of the coilpacks terminal by termainal and they were all close to each other. I also tested the voltages with the engine running and they seem to be very much the same as each other.

Hi all, I'm visiting from good old alfa156.net! I've got a good 300+ posts on there and I was recommended to come on over here. I try and help when I can but more often need help! Also I like to add a little comedy relief now and then. It's a pretty forum and I like the previews of threads. Actually I have a bit of a motoring problem, and I wanted the wise counsel of you guys and Smaky! We miss you back home buddy. Anyway I'll make the thread in the Engine section and post a link here so I don't break any rules. http://www.alfadriver.com/forum/index.php/topic/3315-very-weird-misfire/ Hope to get to know you guys
