re: [alfa] Underheating GTV

I have bleed the cooling system at both locations with the car on a flat
surface to make sure that any air will pool at the thermostat.  My Spider
had air in the system once and it caused it to overheat pretty badly.

When I worked on the SPICA adjustments, I made sure the temp was between 170
and 180 F.  But when driving, it never seems to stay at 175 F .

Did you bleed the cooling system at both the water pump and manifold? I 
think you've got a bunch of air in the system. You need to have the coolant 
temp at 180F minimum to ensure that the Thermostatic Acutator on the 
injection pump leans to a running mixture when the engine is warm.
