Hi, i've been attached to this forum for the past few days..so happy i stumbled on this gem..it has only fed my desires to learn more about my purchase. I treated myself to an '81 alfa spider in great shape..no rust..80k miles..i hope to restore the top this winter...although some questions have already been answered and more are sure to come..here's the top of the list;
a. my car idles very high upon ignition..and settles down after 1-2 minutes (tach is not functioning but i'd guess at about 3000-4000rpm)..why is this??
b. it also runs with very low oil pressure..probably hovering around or below the 1/4 level..the gauge could be faulty..but the temp. gauge and fuel gauge work fine.. any tips on what i could check or do to remedy?
Thanks to all in advance..
