Hi all,
So my 86 ALFA Spider is getting REALLY close to the end of a full restoration. Drove to the dentist yesterday, turned the key off and the car continued to run. Killed engine by letting the clutch out. Had the mechanic work last night to replace the ignition switch (There are TWO car shows in town this weekend and I want to go...in my ALFA!) The switch is replaced but the problem still exists! IF you drop the fuse panel by the drivers left knee, the car runs normally. Put the fuse panel back and the problem comes back. I know... a short, right? BUT, my mechanic is a former Marine electronics tech and he is stumped.... SO, I come HUMBLY to the experts. (Too bad it's not a Harrier!) Any ideas?
Save My Carshow,
Ralph
