Ha. Thanks for the kind comments regarding my 33. I'm touched. Let me have you're reg & I'll tell you if you're ex 33 is still around. We only have 13 sportwagons left, sadly I have to admit I have 3 of them! Ha.

Well...... I personally don't rate those plugs, I've tried a few various options & now I always use NGK BCPR6ET. The Alfa ignition system really likes NGK plugs. Ironically I changed my 33's plugs yesterday. If the ECU goes into default mode you will know it's running rich, when mine did it you...

Yep I know exactly what you mean. Keep it connected if you prefer. It will affect the way the ECU sorts out the fuelling. If you have a cat then you have no option but to have it connected. It always helps to make sure the temp sensor that screws into the n/s throttle body is healthy too as...

No you should be fine. There are two (poss 3) different types of lambda sensors & both have different connections. The most common has 2 plug, (a single wire plug & a 2 wire). It sounds like you have the other type. But not an issue either way, as long as you don't have any exhaust probe wired...

Just remove it. As long as you don't have any lambda sensor wired up and this little wire is NOT present you will be fine. No ECU re tuning is needed.

Thanks Nick for putting these pics on. That wire looks like a tacky bodge but is actually an original Alfa fitment! As far as I'm aware it tells the ECU what RON fuel is being used, without a cat & lambda sensor that info isn't needed. When I de catted mine it was overfueling until I removed...

You don't need to do an ECU reset, these 142 ECU's arn't clever enough to need that. I've de-Catted my 33, I fitted a standard exhaust system & then removed the fueling bridge wire that tells the ECU which octain petrol is needed. All is fine. I'll get a picture on here tonight of the orange...

Hi Matt. Yep I think we are singing from the same sheet here. Feel free to call or text. I too have lots of projects so I need the space where this p4 is sitting.

Hi, i have to say that this p4 is certainly one for saving, i've not had time to crawl all over the underside but ive had it jacked up fine on everal occasions while i've done the tank and exhaust. I have added some pics of the underside on ebay to give a good idea, i honestly cannot say the...

Good question. The hole in the air flap is only a very small one, maybe 2mm? That hole has no reference to the 3 digit number stamped onto the body. I've got AFM's here with holes in some & the numbers don't tally up with the hole. (If that makes sense). The only reference I can find to that...

A Q4 series 2 Alfa 33, that's a new one indeed. There were a few series 1 4x4's and of coarse the s3 p4, but never on the s2. Also the s1's were sportwagons too. So..........no Nick, this q4 badge is incorrect for you're machine. (I have a load of new Q4 badges if anyone is in need though) :-)...

Nice one, this was on ebay recently wasnt it? looking very tidy. If you ever need bits give me a shout. Alex

Any luck bud? whats the symtoms? just a misfire is it?

Yep she looks to be in a good place Nick. (i think i'm to blame for you're purchase of that expansion bottle too, sorry) hee hee. They are cracking on with the work then, when i popped in they were keen to get on it.

Ha. Yep the last few jobs on the p4 will be done during this month. Along with getting that tatty ol sw on the road! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
