Was a common problem with the fiat spider and Alfa spider the relay box had to be removed and cleaned very well from corrosion I was factory trained before both companies pulled out of America ..now they are back but I’m sure a completely different cars
Can u email me need your help monhair@hotmail.com love your passion and work
might worth consider using non-conductive grease for electrical connections as normal grease can cause interference as does copper grease , but well done diagnosing and fixing fault
Those connectors are standard Bosch type, and available at any auto parts store. I would recommend NOT soldering them, as the normal flexing of the wires will cause strands within the wire to crack at the solder joint, and eventually fail. It would be worthwhile to invest in a good barrel crimper, such as those offered by DMC.
We don't see you on videos…I am sure your a handsome fella.
Hey Doc, That's great that it was a simple fix and no pounds involved. I was worried it was one of your ECU's. That's great that it wasn't, I'm sure you know what there worth to replace. It just goes to show (by your video) to check the small stuff first. I had bought new sensors from Superformance uk and found that, when I replaced the one at the bottom of the front bank, the bracket of the sensor end that attaches to the engine didn't fit in the recess where the old one came out of and I had to grind down the new one to make it fit. Also the bolt holes on the bracket needed drilling out slightly, as so to create a slot, for the holes didn't line up correctly with the bolts. That worked, but was a bit of a pain. You may already be aware of this, but I just thought it might help anyone in the future to know this. From my memory the other (top) two sensors only needed the holes drilled out for they don't go in to any recess. I ordered the parts correctly as far as I'm aware, but I've seen in your video's that replacement parts aren't always exactly the same. If you think that I've made a mistake when ordering those parts and had made things hard for myself I would love to read your comments. I'm sure they were the only sensors available. But I've been wrong before ! Keep up the vid's there great. Cheers Marc
