[alfa] Why won't it run the way it should?



Regarding the hot start problem. Try disconnecting the Cold Start Soleniod and see if that makes any difference. Be sure to tape over the wire so it doesn't short out. The plastic hydraulic plunger that the CSS actuates has been know to stick in it's bore and not release, thus enriching the mixture too much for normal running.

With temperatures like the are now, the engine should even start cold without the cold start solenoid. Also, with the engine hot check that the pump gap is .019" between the throttle arm on the rear of the injection pump and the reference screw.

As far as bogging down at 3000 rpm . . . . is the fuel pressure normal? Does the low pressure warning light come on initially when you turn the ignition on, then go off almost immediately? Does the low pressure light come on while in normal driving?
