I had the day off today like most of America. So this morning I started bright and early. I put the finishing touches on the vac sensor for the spider. Once I got it all buttoned up I took her for a spin. There is no real noticeable difference, but I am sure the next week will see a fuel economy increase. Hurray! I also used a digital timing light to verify the sensor was actually working. I am getting way too much advance at idle, but mid range and max advance are both within spec on the high side. But hey, more advance sounds good to me!!
Then I tackled the milano ABS. I had some old sensors from my last milano. I started to test them and see what the troubles were. After lots of careful soldering and miles of electrical tape I got all the sensor wires back to spec. I carefully installed them all and connected them up. I set all the air gaps and tested the wires again. Perfect. So I fired up the car and waited. After the booster pump finished building pressure the abs light went out for the first time since I have owned the car. So what is next? ABS testing!! I went to a nearby gravel parking lot and made some quick stops. It was so cool!! The relays all started clicking and I could feel the pedal pulsate just like everyone says it should. This should be great on the autox!!
Well, thats enough Alfa stuff for now. Amy and Jeremy from the rally are going to pick me up and we are gonna celebrate the fourth the best way possible!! With BEER!!
