festy's Alfa Romeo Alfetta GTV

Good that your happy with the reference but why isnt diag mode working? Grounded the diag request line and not getting constant 10 degrees timing or engine wont idle?

Ground the diag line and the engine dies. I really should re-visit that and work out what's going on...


Brake lines are now insulated near the turbo, I still have to sort out a heat shield for the MC though. Long term plan is to move the MC over to the driver's side firewall and get rid of the booster, but that's not a simple job so this will have to do for now

I scored a fiberglass front bar (which meant losing the gutter mesh lower grilles I made), test fitted it then pulled it back off for some repairs.

Yeah I recall you mentioned that at the time and I was going to investigate if adding a bunch of steps helped... but I haven't tried it yet, I'd forgotten all about it

even just a bit of throttle might be all you need to get it over the initial hump

Couldn't find that headlight so had to fit a spare one.
Finished the repairs to the front bumper and touched up the paint a bit, then moved it outside for a quick wash.
I spent far far too long trying to work out why it was idling like a pig, finally checked the codes and saw high MAP set.
Popped the bonnet and re-connected the vac line

Looks good man can wait for the vids of the track day how much more is there to do?

[antus]

Yeah looks ready to go! For a car like that how awesome is it that you can read the codes and get pointed straight to your vac leak! Maybe not so exciting for us lol.
