Car Forum / Alfa Romeo Cars / June 2006156 wont rev over 2500
Hi My 156 2.0TS Lusso 2002 (51 plate?) drves OK in every gear, pulls off OK but will not rev over 2500rpm. Any ideas before I go spending money?

It sounds like it's in a > 'safe' mode where revs are limited.... Yes the engine management light is on, I have done a bit of looking on the web and water is mentioned. It pissed down last night so I have fingers crossed it will sort itself! Is there a way of forcing it out of safe mode? >>> Hi >>> [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > itself! > Is there a way of forcing it out of safe mode? Not sure - the only time it's happened to me was, coincidentally, when I drove rather quickly through a (deeper than I thought) puddle. I assumed that a sensor probably got affected and an off/on sorted the rev limit - but it took a phone call and booking at dealers for it to decide to clear the waning of it's own accord! (dried out I guess) It's usually the Air Flow Meter (AFM of MAF) in the intake system. It's a black plastic unit just to the right of the engine cover. Sort of sticks out to the left of the intake piping. One trick is to disconnect it and see if the car runs better.

Try disconnecting the battery for 10 minutes  SignatureCiao from The Netherlands alfistagj (aka Gert-Jan) GT 2.0 JTS (2005) Montreal 2.6V8 (1428700 - 1973/4) >> Is there a way of forcing it out of safe mode? > > Try disconnecting the battery for 10 minutes That did nowt but thanks. > Hi > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Rick A good nights sleep seems to have fixed it. >> Hi >> [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > A good nights sleep seems to have fixed it. Same as mine then - I wonder if you did get moisture in a connection somewhere as I suspected when I has the same.... >>> Hi >>> [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > Same as mine then - I wonder if you did get moisture in a connection > somewhere as I suspected when I has the same.... I see a money spinning idea. 'Yeah mate I can fix that, you'll have to leave it overnight though' >> Hi >> [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > A good nights sleep seems to have fixed it. Spoke too soon its gone squiffy again. The girlfriend did wash it though, i've had words, 'love, FFS dont get it wet!' >>> Hi >>> [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > The girlfriend did wash it though, i've had words, 'love, FFS dont > get it wet!' Well, if it's intermittent it sounds like a connection rather than broken... so maybe the water is a red herring (appropriately!) >>>> Hi >>>> [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > Well, if it's intermittent it sounds like a connection rather than > broken... so maybe the water is a red herring (appropriately!) Its working again! I think it is the water, other half gave it a jetwash. I spose this is the fun of Alfa ownership which some speak of. To be fair to it, even only revving to 2500 it is still a capable vehicle. |
