Hi there,

we do not have any tech info on Alfa's in our database, but with any car showing these symptoms, i would be doing a scan to check for any unresolved fault codes and checking the coolant temp sensor, thi sis not the coolant sender that gives gauge readings, but the sensor that feeds temp info into the ECU for mixture control readings.
