Re: [alfa] Oh no... SPICA problem (no fuel to cylinder 4)



If you think there might be a mechanical breakage, remove the side inspection plate from the pump section and see if the #4 plunger is moving up and down correctly. It could also be that the plunger gear that engages the rack gear has a loose or missing screw, thus slipping and not allowing fuel into the #4 barrel. If so, it off to Wes Ingram's shop for repair. That part has to be carefully calibrated on a flow bench and matched to the other cylinders. Although not common at all, those screws have been known to back out in rare cases.
