It has two fuel pumps, low pressure in the tank that feeds the high pressure pump located in front of the rear axle on passenger side. The fuse is an 8 amp located under the luggage rack on the passenger side along with the main and fuel run relay, with the FUEL ECU CLOSE BY. ALSO, has the altitude sensor in same vicinity. The fuel relay powers both fuel pumps.

    I think the following applies to the 86 Spider.

    It has two fuel pumps, low pressure in the tank that feeds the high pressure pump located in front of the rear axle on passenger side. The fuse is an 8 amp located under the luggage rack on the passenger side along with the main and fuel run relay, with the FUEL ECU CLOSE BY. ALSO, has the altitude sensor in same vicinity. The fuel relay powers both fuel pumps.

Fuel filter clear? If so then start looking at fuel pump, if that's good then start looking into the carburetor floats..

I have 1986 Alfa Spider that won't start. Car has been sitting for a year. I replaced battery, fuel tank, fuel sender unit, both fuel pumps. I seems that the in tank pumps is not getting any po
Could be the main or fuel run relay located in the compartment under the luggage rack, passenger side, main relay also, fuse for the fuel relay 8amp. Electronic Control Unit is also located there.

Could be electrical, Hook up a timing light, three leads: Power, Ground, and one that goes around the wire to #1 cyl. Turn the engine over and see if there's firing. Note: u can check all 4 spark plugs this way.

Fuse lead goes to pin 30 of the fuel relay, u can jump 30 across to 57 and check for the pumps running, if not, change-I suggest both relays, main and fuel run relays. Both pumps get their 12v DC from the fuel run relay, both should be running when you switch ignition switch to on, then a tachymetric signal is fed from the coil to the relay to keep it running.

Water is seeping in and collects underneath the driver's seat and the source seems to be the grill/air intake just below the windshield. The car is a 1986 Spider Veloce. Many thanks, Wolf.
You can pull that panel off. Remove your wiper arms and then unscrew 6 or so screws partially hidden by the rubber strip that seals the hood to the cowl. Now remove the cowl panel. You'll see a drain, it's either blocked or the rubber drain tube is cracked or missing. Clean it all out replace the drain tube, lubericate your wiper mechanism and reassemble
