When I'm idling in traffic
Hello and welcome to FixYa!
As a first course of action, I strongly suggest that you check the spark plugs. If the plugs have big gaps, corroded, covered with carbon or just faulty, they just fail. One good reason why it hops during acceleration.
It's like fuel flooding. More fuel but less burning and if that's the case, the plugs must be replaced to resolve the issue.
Have you replaced the transmission fluid lately? If not, then now is a good time. If the transmission fluid is burnt, the transmission tends to fail. Now you feel that kangaroo thing, sooner or later the turtle.
It may just be stuck in gear and you'll notice that it's not shifting.
I strongly suggest that you replace the transmission fluid as well if you haven't done that. Don't forget to look over the spark plugs too.
Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!
TIMING SETTING ON ALFA ROMEO 156 V6
Not certain as you didn't say the year model of the car. Connect a vacuum gauge to a good source of engine vacuum. Turn the distributor with it running till you get the highest vacuum reading adjust idle and mixture also till you get to the correct idle speed, with the highest vacuum reading you can get with the idle set at the correct RPM. Also adjust the mixture screw to make the highest vacuum reading and correct the idle again and then try moving the timing still more till you find the highest vacuum and smoothest idle, at the correct RPM. Then turn the mixture screw in slightly till the engine sounds just a little rough then watching the vacuum gauge turn the timing again adjusting the idle screw as need to keep it right. Very important to start out with a good and fully charged battery. Any extra loads turned off. If the car is automatic. the do it again with a helper holding the brakes as you adjust just the timing with it idling in drive, again get the best vacuum but don't change the mixture unless it seems all wrong.
