Title: 156 - Rev Limit plus QLD
Post by: mav on March 19, 2008, 04:17:06 PM
Hi All,
My 156 is a 98, 2.5V6 6sp manual model. I owned it in the UK and couldn't part with it when i came back to Oz.
She came off the ship looking fine, however now seems to stop at 5000rpm. It's like a rev limiter. Possibly valve timing?
I've moved from Perth to Brisbane and would appreciate your thoughts you might have plus any positive comments about Alfa specialists in Qld / Brisbane.
Thanks in advance.
Jason.

From the little knowledge I have about alfas, your problem might be the MAF (mass air-flow) sensor which is located somewhere near the air-filter box. Apparently it is a common problem with the V6 156's.
The problem usualy manifest itself as a loss of power at higher revs

As far as Alfa specialists go in Brisbane, go to the Qld Alfa Owners Club site and look at the advertisers list.
