All,
Since march 2018 i own a white 164 3.0 12v V6, the last 7-8 years i was looking for a white 3.0, this 164 is one of the four white V6 in Holland that didn't end for demolation/scrapyard.
I found the car in the basement of a BMW garage/specialist, manufactured in 1990 and after 3 years as companycar she ended in the basement.
After replacing timingbelt, engine-, brake-, steering- and clutch oil, replace all fuel and cooling hoses, sandsblast and powdercoat several parts (a complete story here https://alfa164register.nl/viewtopic.php?f=52&t=10347) it was time to start her.
Unfortunatly she didn't start.
What did i do/checked:
- fuel pressure at the injectorrail, NO
- i checked the fuelpomp connection and it had power.
- i replaced the fuel pomp because it didn't work.
- there was fuel and pressure at the injectorrail connection
- i removed the rails with injector, it doesn't spray fuel from the 3 injectors.
Now i think it is something electrical, anyone can push me a direction where to look further??

Yesterday after 5 hours testing, checking the white lady finally started.5 of the 6 injectors didn't work.

Great that you found the solution!
5 out of 6 is a lot, but since it was not used for that long, I guess it is not unexpected.
Enjoy the car, now that you can get behind the wheel

Re: 12v 1990 won't start.
Perhaps that the start 1 year ago with 15 liter fuel added in the tank causes some dirt in the injectors. indeed 5 out of 6 is a lot...
Not yet Alfan, i wanted to change the blue carpet for black before i install the Recaro seats. Last sunday the carpet was replaced, now i have to put back the parts that i needed to remove. than the black recaro can be mounted.
