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.

SOURCE: How do you reset alfa romeo 156 2.0 t-spark radio

I just bought a '99 156 & had the same problem. As long as you have the 4 digit code then all you have to do is drive around for an hour (time the 60 mins!!) & providing you have switched the stereo "on" at the beginning the " - - - - " will appear on the front at 60mins. Then just type in the digits! The Alfa has this "anti theft" device on the stereo which also means every time the battery is disconnected you have to drive around for an hour before you do it again!

Testimonial: "Thanks . just as you say ,ive fixed the problem"

get your vehicle to a garage and get them to check your handbrake cable(may need adjusting) and rear brakes(new brake pads?) or check the parts yourself and replace or adjust as required. do you have the car manual in the glovebox?

Is there chain on alfa 156 2.0 liter?

If you are talking about a timing chain I think the answer could be no. I have a 2003 Spider 2L JTS which is the same engine as the 2003 156. Before that they had the 2L Twinspark and both have timing belts which need to be replace regularly along with the pulleys and idlers. Much earlier twinspark engines have a timing chain. Have a look at www.Alfa 156.net. Cheers. Brian.

My 156 sportswagon is burning fuel badly i put 2 gallons in and only got 31 miles for this i can hear an air leak coming from top of engine would this be a likley cause for such poor fuel consumption it's...

an air leak would weaken the mix of fuel to air so giving you better fuel efficiency but a poor power output.
was my last answer not to your liking, re **** fuel consumption on all fiat/alpha cars.but it is true, ask any owner........14.7 average mpg.......£205 road tax.....(tax it for a year and quadruple its value...)
