Hi...
If plugs dont have spark, problem can be on the distributor/rotor arm, ignition coil.
In an worst case it can be the ECU itself, that has died. Check the relais of the ECU, to see if electrical power reaches the ECU.
Start by the least expensive and go from there.
What job did the garage do?-Were they just changing oil, or did you ask them to do an extensive job??
Did they mess any electrical connection?
If its they fault, they must put it back in order...
Keep in touch
J.Oliveira

Thanks for your reply Oliveira.
It seems that the coil it's ok but the ECU, one transistor have blow up!
I have a friend and will try to repair if possible. I hope to have an identical ECU to verify with the car if anything else is wrong. Next week I hope to have further news and I will inform you accordingly.
Regards (Cumprimentos)

The ECU (Centralina) is dead ! It´s very difficult to buy one cheap, and to find it is very,very difficult. I'm keep trying.
Regards to you all
Reis
PS.One think that I have learned: NEVER clean electrical contacts wity BATTERY ON ! And if so, after you connect the battery please allow at least 1 minute before start engine ! Because the ECU must restart and check all motor circuits. |

Hi... 
Sorry to hear about your car problems... 
However, try the salvage yards at Sacavém. There is one, on the top of the road on the left side that has a great deal of new & used parts for Alfas  .
Try also Porto Alto & Montijo. If theres nothing there, you`ll probably will have to go to a new one...And pay a lot of cash...
Hope this helps
J.Oliveira
