       Both my 91 spiders fire right up.  The Bosch manual sold by AROC and 
assembled from Alfa Owner articles is worth having.  It was assembled partly 
by Fred DiMatteo and reflects his point of view.
       Virtually every article emphasizes that battery condition is paramount 
for starting the electronic injected Alfas.  My take on that is if the 
battery is in slightly less than top condition, then the current required to 
run the starter does not leave enough power to also run the computers.
