Help - I have an 87 Spider Veloce that runs three seconds and dies. I have studied this thread and anything else that I could find, including Eric's guide to the Jetronic System.
As the weather warmed up, I have been driving her 2-3 times a week. This time, I got to about the end of my driveway, then stalled. She had a fast idle when cold. As I went through my analysis, I fixed some items that will likely help with that - if I can get her going again.
Here is a list of everything that I have tried:
Checked all air hoses. Fixed small crack near accordian section.
Removed and Tested Vaccum hoses for leaks, (except hose to Vapor Recovery, Pinched it off)
Checked Oil Separator and drain line
Checked and adjusted TPS
Cleaned ground wire terminals at engine and misc ground under rear platform
Measured resistance to ground at Injection ECU harness, (disconnected).
Checked flywheel sensors
Checked Thermal Sensor (Fuel ECU)
Checked AFM operation and connection
Checked Ignition Coil Resistance
Checked fuel pressure at CSI with Compression tester, about 32 PSI
Confirmed 12V to Injectors
Checked and adjusted AAV
Did not replace fuses 5 & 8 as flashers, radio and Pwr windows work.
Main relay clicks and appears to be OK
Drive Relay also clicks - but does not seem to control fuel pumps. Looks like PO bypassed relay and both fuel pumps are running with key in "on" position. There is an orange wire that passes through to underneath the car that has been spliced onto one of the drive relay wires.
It is clearly running for 3 seconds off the CSI. I believe that the main injectors are not activating. I do not have a Noid. I don't know what else to try.
I have disconnected the AFM for a test - no change.
Any other tests that I can do? I don't have access to another Alfa to try and swap out drive relay or ECU, so any tests that can help me determine what to order would be helpful.
I am stumped - can't think of what else to do. Could My ECU have just died before my eyes? (Well, actually behind me - closer to another part of my anatomy).
