IS there something in the owner manual that came from fiat said, it needs to run negine in ? OR ECU has a run in period?

Ming

ecu has a run in mode. basically no power untill 200 miles and it won't let you under-rev the engine at all (it saps all power untill the engine is no longer struggeling)
 
Never heard of that before, thats maybe how they get the good economy figures they quote :)

Yeah where did you get that information from ? is it written in the owners manual ?

Personal experience, educated guesses and following threads on Alfa owner (all Multi-air engines are the same in that they have a run in mode). To my knowledge the restrictions are completely lifted after 1000 miles. at 720miles now and still loosening up daily.
