It's located in the front of the car, and reached by opening the cover in the luggage compartment after disengaging the securing pins. MW |

Henryk, you were right it was a bad connection at the mother board.Motion Products out of Neenah Wi did the work.He has truly an amazing company.In 53 years at Pebble Beach,Ferrari received a perfect 100 twice both were his restorations.He must have $30 million worth of Ferraris to restore.I would like to thank everyone for their help. |

I chased a problem like this, car would run then die and would not start for awile verv intermited. I replaced 2 temp sensors, modules,and the $800.00 fuse board.Same problem the car finialy would not start, no spark. Cleaned dis caps and installed new wires she runs much better.Been running fine for three months now. |

My TR has an odd "power" problem too. It starts and runs fine, and accelerates good. But when I stop and shut if off, like to get gas or something just for a minute or two, and then start it up again, it will run like a banshee! Then after about a minute or less, it's back to it's "decent" but not "banshee-like" acceleration again. I wonder if one of the temp related sensors or controls is malfunctioning? Sorry to highjack this thread about this. Bud, please keep us posted. |

check the catalytic converters, maybe they are jammed up & the engine cant breathe. Otherwise I think it sounds like a fuel pump problem or maybe you just bought bad gas or have some water in the gas.. how long has the gas been in the tank ? |

This could also be an intermintant ignition module problem. I just fixed a TR that drove me nuts for almost a week. The complaint was stalling somtimes at stop lights and sometimes not starting. I finaly was able to get the car to do the problem, and traced it to a bad ingnition module. Basicly it was loosing spark on one side of the engine for short bursts and then working agian. Check to see if you have spark on both sides of the engine. If you only have spark on one side, then switch the modules around. If you now have spark on the side that didn't before then you know 100% you have a bad module. |

Seems like one of the fuel pumps quite, where only 6 cylinders are running. This is often caused by a bad connection at the mother board......this happened to me.......replaced the mother board, after finding the bad connections that where broken off the board....hence, no current to the pump. Check the connections, first......maybe they are just loose. Hopefully, so you may not need a new board. |

I have a 90 Testarossa, the problem is that it doesn't have any power. The engine will rev up but the car just doesn't have any power.When driving the car sometimes it will just kick in and have power.Does anyone have any ideas what could be wrong. |
