    As some of you guys know.. i'm still working out bits and bobs for my Alfa.

     

    My next question is this...

     

    With the ignition on but not starting the car... does the throttle body still react to the pedal? i.e I need to determine if the drive by wire throttle body on a twin spark moves with just the ignition on, not needing to be started and by pressing the pedal with full movement?

     

    This is on the 1.6 T Spark engine.

    I spent ages and ages looking around for a search button.. yes i'm an idiot. :teehee:

     

    Perhaps this would be better suited in white or red?

    It would make it stand out more for the blind among us *hangs head* but also add a bit of contrast to the top bar? :yay:

    Small Update - 02/05/13

    Yesterday had a visit from Smaky to have a look at my squeaky GTV. and whilst here he had a quick look at the 147 as well.

     

    Needless to say Alex noticed a lot more than i expected.

     

    So adding to my list of now bits to get..

     

    New revision gearbox from 20vt.

    New sump - I've managed to crack it some how!

    Cam belt & associated bits

    and likely engine will need a rebuild as its full of water.

     

    Have sourced new box and sump...
