[alfa] Re: Why won't it run the way it should?

Doug,

Sounds like the SPICA is out of adjustment.

Do you have Wes Ingram's SPICA booklet? It's called "Manual for Alfa Romeo 
SPICA Fuel Injection" and available through Wes' website (www.wesingram.com). 
$23 and worth every penny. Get one and loan it to your mechanic if you don't 
turn the wrench yourself.

I'm fortunate enough to have Wes' shop in my backyard and I bought the 
booklet. I use it, at Wes' suggestion, to set up and troubleshoot the SPICA in my 
car BEFORE I call him. He suggests this to others, too. I'm not just special to 
him. :-)

Make sure you pick one up, set up the SPICA system per the instructions, then 
wonder why you haven't spent more time on the road with your spider.

Also, the Oregon club (AROO) has a great SPICA web page at: 
http://www.alfaclub.org/techstff/tunespca.htm 
No special tools required for this set of tune up procedures.

Did I mention that you should pick up a copy of Wes' SPICA booklet?

Wes sells a DynoGraph, a device that uses an O2 sensor to display the exhaust 
gas mixture graphically on a series of colored LEDs. It really helps dial in 
the mixture.

Also, you should pick up a copy of his SPICA booklet.
