Have you brought it to an Alfa Romeo specialist? They should know what the problem is and rectify it.

Sounds like a MAFI (mass air flow sensor), happened to me some years ago. I sourced one on eBay, fitted it myself and the car has been great ever since. should cost you around $200.

Err, isn't that what all 'auto' cars generally do?
