Physically looks the same but I don’t know the resistance value.
There’s tons of these resistors that look the same physically but I don’t know their resistance or power rating.
The 3200 is 0.27 ohm and that’s the same as this Alfa part (51736821):
Cooling Fan Resistor Alfa Romeo 147 156 GTV Spider 159 Brera 51736821
SKU: 51736821This is a genuine Alfa Romeo cooling fan resistor to fit certain versions of the following: Alfa Romeo 916 GTV Alfa Romeo 916 Spider Alfa Romeo 159 Alfa Romeo Brera Alfa Romeo 939 Spider Alfa Romeo 156 Alfa Romeo 147 Alfa Romeo 145 Alfa Romeo 146 Alfa Romeo GT This is the 0.23...alfaromeoshop.com
Keeps going for 1 or 2 minutes. It’s during this timeframe that I cannot start the engineCan I ask something, if we switch off the engine and remove the key while the ventilator is on, does the ventilator stops or keeps going?
It’s normal to start the fan once it hits 90 degrees. And it starts at 90 degrees on the dot (I’m monitoring via OBD). If it cools to 85, the fan stops and I can stop the car and restart without problems.I don't think it's meant to start if the fans running, but why is it running? I've heard of a maf issue causing the fan to run before.
No, the ignition relay is on the front right side, half way in the hood and the fan relays are in the fuse box by the firewall.Are the fan relay and ignition relay on the same board?
I had these symptoms, once was the starter motor dying, and once was as simple as replacing the battery with a higher cca one, both times it would start when hot with a battery booster attached, its as if the fans and starter were sapping the ignition system of the power it needed to function properly, as we know low voltages can do strange things to a Maserati.It’s normal to start the fan once it hits 90 degrees.

The condition seems to be, if the fan is active (even if I pull the relay to prevent them for actually starting) then the engine will not restart again until it has stopped
I had this problem with my 3200 when I checked it into Emblem; it wouldn't start when the fans were running, so I'd have to wait for them to stop before the car could be started. I though it was just a feature of the operating system in the ECU but they diagnosed a problem with the air gap at the crankshaft sensor which they replaced and adjusted to specification.I installed a jumper wire while waiting for the resistor to arrive and still have the same problem.
Fan kicks in at 90C as expected but if I shutdown the engine and attempt to restart while the fan is on, it simply refuses to start.
I’m running out of ideas here to rule out the ECU …
i reckon my car is also a bit like this. it does not like starting up when the fans are still running.Keeps going for 1 or 2 minutes. It’s during this timeframe that I cannot start the engine

I've had a quick look in the manual and I can't find anything about the crankshaft sensor, but that doesn't mean it's not in there as it's not the easiest manual to find your way through! What I can tell you is that Emblem did not need the spacer (part 4 on the parts diagram) as the gap was too great with that and then they had to grind something down to get the correct gap.Already replaced the crankshaft sensor but did not adjust the air gap. Is the gap distance documented in the manual?
Mine has 2 thin spacers stacked. Maybe I remove them and check …I've had a quick look in the manual and I can't find anything about the crankshaft sensor, but that doesn't mean it's not in there as it's not the easiest manual to find your way through!
