You know that the ass end has got to. That is a bunch of positive buoyancy.Wonder if that bmw floats
Neighbors' kid up the hill from me must have one of those.
rain collector...
the loss was many years ago, but it was not easy to make the decision to cremate and turn into ashes…..but today I think it was the right decision. That valley is part of my work/daily life…..and that rock was painted with reflective white paint a couple of years ago by my older brother, so at dawn and until noon….the rock reflects the sunlight….looks like litSorry for your loss, lovely that you're able to do that .
I’ve seen some strange things that I thought would never be related to the ECM when it starts to go bad, just a guessI will emphasize the point that this is not ST related. My daughter has an Alfa 158GT. She loves this car and it is her baby. Last evening the car failed to start and this morning she began to troubleshoot. A 7.5 fuse had blown and the car also was showing a fault code. The fault code indicated that the coil stick on no. 3 cylinder was faulty. She replaced this with a supposedly good coil and replaced the blown fuse. Immediately on turning on the ignition ,the fuse again blew. She then disconnected the no. 3 coil ,replaced the fuse and turned on the ignition. The fuse held good. She replaced no. 3 coil again and turned on the ignition . The fuse held. She started the car and all was good. She left the car running while she was tidying her gear and very shortly she smelled something burning. She stopped the car and investigated. No. 1 coil Stick was smouldering and extremely hot to the touch. When things cooled she changed the coil stick on no.1 cylinder and again started the car, fire extinguisher in hand. No excessive heating or any other problem. She has now driven it around 30km. as a test and no problem. Anyone have any ideas or has anyone seen or heard of a coil stick showing these symtoms

You may want to update your Internet.When I Google that car, it shows an old race car. Probably not what she's driving though.

Hmmm, Maybe because it’s an Alpha?I will emphasize the point that this is not ST related. My daughter has an Alfa 158GT. She loves this car and it is her baby.

Yeah, I remember the guys on the UK Top Gear talking about how they liked the chassis, but that Alphas weren't known for their reliability. You know, like a Beemer.Hmmm, Maybe because it’s an Alpha?
Well, you've seen mine . . . . now you need to show me yours.You may want to update your Internet.
First coil 3 fails….and then coil 1…..you should check the firing order, probably 1-3 turn on at the same time…..usually all the coils are energized at the same time and with the same fuse taking care of them… ..the individual in each coil is the negative….but according to the firing order, 2 coils of different cylinders, but that share the firing order…they should share the same negative…(maybe you have problems with those negatives (they keep going to ground).../if the common positive went to ground, the fuse would burn and if you change the coils, the fuse would burn again. The negative of the coil is only to release the spark to the spark plug (in time) ....but if you send that negative to ground, the coil would overheat and you wouldn't notice the failure (lost spark), maybe a little knockI will emphasize the point that this is not ST related.
