Update: Project is on hold. I have had to stop working on the Alfa due to the neighbor's Cadillac CTS dying literally in front of the house! I fix some of his old tree farm trucks and equipment from time to time. You know, old run of the mill stuff abused by the daily work the trucks and box vans ar...

Greg, I've printed your great article! (all 39 pages!) This weekend I'll be literally going through the injection system step by step. Lots of great information! Thank you very much. I'll report upon completion what I find. I'm expecting some interesting results. This car arrived with everything fro...

Greg,
My apologies! It's in the title of the post but not in the text. 1984 GTV6.

General question? Where can a remanufactured or new heater / A/C control panel be purchased or found or rebuilt? Any input on who's best or trusted by the comunity would be greatly apreciated! I have been asked by a customer to fix his car and remember these being "difficult" when I was th...

Tested positive pulse at cold start injector and all 6 injectors. Move air flap and fuel pump runs corrrectly...

I am unfamiliar with the cars you speak of. I didn't know SAAB made any 4 stroke models.

Today GTV6 ingnition switch goes in. Will update you later on that!

Being an owner of some fine Swedish machinery, 2-stroke style that is, this Italian modern automobile is driving me nuts! lol!! I believe all the bells and ringers are part of silly American Federal requirement import stuff. Starting to think this car has its own troll. Ring-a-ding-ding works for me...

Murry, thanks! Currently I have removed the old assembly and have the new part in hand. The owner purchased the new assembly and I have a concern because these new ones are slightly different and have no provision for illumination of the ignition switch or activation of seat belt and ignition buzzer...

The shop manual does not cover the procedure for removal and reinstallation of the ignition lock / switch assembly. How do I get the assembly out and install the new one?

No bolts, no set screws on the column. grrrrr..... What is the "key" to doing this right?

Thank you.
Chuck

Al, Forgot to say thank you for your information! I'm processing all of this, hoping to eventually hear the glorious sound of a motor starting. :D Also, put another shrimp on the BBQ for me! Although you are having winter, and it is definitely being summer up here in PA, USA. Here they say it's not ...

ok here is where i'm at as of yesterday's adventure in the car: the connector on the firewall that the starter solenoid attaches is doing odd things at odd times. i used a continuity test light with wire to starter disconected. sitting in the car actuating the key / ignition swith , this is what i s...

Sent you a PM.

For other folks out there, I'm trying not to burden this Forum with my Italian electrical gremlin problems, but I really need some help with this....so any further help would be super appreciated!

I'll get there...but I'll just have less hair in the end!

presently have whole instrumentation out of dash , column cover out as well. can not find any wires that look damaged or cut other than the tropic air wires that i'm repairing as someone removed that unit and just cut wires and put tape on cut ends. wish they'd just unplugged it all and stuffed up i...

the manual i'm working with is GTV6 / milano based. the car is doing some pretty odd things. lights , horn , wipers are seemingly ok. but when the battery is hooked up the fuel pump starts running with the key off. remove fuse in position 12 and pump stops. turn key to on position ..nothing. turn ke...
