My 156 twin spark engine stalling happened and became a continuous problem at about 2 years after the purchase. The symptom began from a start up problem that the engine only fired up with the accelerator pedal depressed when cranking.

Just over 2 months of the ownership, the 156 gave me its first warning. At a time, my younger brother driving it with my mother on the way home experienced a lack of power suddenly and eventually the car stalled on a busy lane. I’d say it’s definitely a nightmare, if not the the worst one, to deal with, isn’t it.
Luckily my brother managed to fire the car up after a few minutes and reached home. It is time for an overhaul. Since we had experience in something similar with a Volvo S70, I replaced the MAF at once.
