Buy/Swap/Sell [Announce ONLY] / 105 - Fiberglass doors (WTB)

Last post by AlfaBris - March 25, 2025, 08:43:28 AM

Hi.

I'm looking for some fiberglass doors or door skins to suit a 1750 gtv. Does anyone have some locally that might be available or know of any that might be available, rather than looking over seas.

Thanks

Just don't mention/joke or have a personal opinion about tarrifs or politics, it may now get you blocked.

Seriously? You're kidding, right?

You may get a much better response on the AlfaBB.   Tens of millions more Alfa were delivered to North America.  It also has the best archive of posts on 105 series cars and people still interested in talking about them and providing help, etc.

932 Series (156, GTV, Spider, 147, GT, and 166) / 2L JTS Rough Idle

Last post by Dr_Doom - March 22, 2025, 11:51:04 PM

Hi, my 2L JTS has a rough idle and a bad exhaust smell. It misfires a bit on idle with the rpm needle fluctuating but no engine light. No engine codes are showing recently, but sometimes it would show a general misfire code and cylinder 1 misfire on MultiECU Scan, but no engine light. I pulled the plugs out and all were a bit black and sooty, but not wet. A compression test showed that cylinders 1,2,4 at 150psi, but 3 at 125psi, a bit of oil in the cylinder and compression increased to about 200psi but the plug looks the same as the rest (not more sooty or wet/oily). There is also no major/large amounts of smoke coming from the exhaust. I was thinking if maybe all 4 injectors are letting too  much fuel in but I want to see if anyone else has any other ideas of possible causes.

Is it possible that a previous owner tuned the ECU to run rich? (ECU looks stock) Or maybe an incorrect reading from a faulty sensor changing the fuel mixture? I have added fuel injector cleaner to try and see if anything changes but same result.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I'm trying to establish whether my 1971 Alfa Romeo 1750 GTV is still amoungst us in the land of the living. I sold in Queensland  a Giallo Ochre (original colour)1750 GTV that had been painted Red in the engine bay but painted white on the outside in 1987.Engine number was I believe to be B2890.The steering wheel was engraved on the left spoke with a persons name on it.I would just like to maybe know the final outcome of this little car as I enjoyed its company and it was an intergral part of my life in my 20's.

Yes that's a good point. It's my understanding that the pressure from the tank pump drops when the issue arises. I guess we'll find out soon...
