Throttle Body Alignment on the 6n 16v (AFH)

Post by TerraTag »

Somebody please please tell me how to perform a Throttle Body Alignment on a 16v 1998 Marelli ECU

I've searched high and low on the whole bloody interweb and cant find ANYTHING.

Ross-tech instructions dont work, I can only read the first 4 or so groups in Engine, the rest just give me some random numbers with no units.

so

Has anyone performed a TBA on the 16v?

(if you have, pleeease tell me how!!)

Lol it does work - when we cleaned Bens TB it went way out of alignment. Battery off for two hours fixed it so there it does work! Not for every car, but it does sometimes work!
