    Yep! I had lots of issues with my 355 over the almost 3 years I have owned her.

    Since I took her to Mark @ FoS in September I just crossed the 1k mark without a CEL. Problems have been fixed and I am super stoked!!!:D:D:D

    So, another big THANK YOU TO MARK @ FoS!!! (Should have just sent her to him back in 2008 when the problems started...I hope my lesson teaches others to find the proper technician rather than worry about saving a few dollars...):cool:

    It's so weird having a 355 that doesn't kick that pesky CEL on every 200-300 miles! :p

    Here's to a summer driving season with a reliable Ferrari!!!:D

    (I hope I can revisit this thread in October with good news!) ;)

    Glad to hear! I noticed whatever was weeping from my F1 pump also stopped being that the weather is getting warmer. Weird how the cold weather makes it drip. Fixed my bypass valve issue so I'm hoping that is the end of my CEL as well! 1000 miles with no CEL...ahhhhhh!!! I can only hope.

    So glad to hear Brock!!
    But truth be told, my car has only very rarely thrown a CE light, and it was always legit, either a bad pre-cat O2 sensor, failed cat or failed cat ECU. They are always annoying, but mine were all pretty quickly corrected. Yours was definitely frustrating.

    That's great news Brock.

    I have determined that the problem was your original location of Portland Oregon :p

    And now my F1 actuator (along with a couple other forum members here!) leaks very slowly when the temps fall below 20 degrees....:rolleyes:

    Still no CELs here. :)

    I just don't get it...I have driven her quite often and there is NOTHING wrong with her!!! I made it all year without any problems. :)

    I don't wanna put her away for the winter. :(

    All I gotta say is that if I ever have to sell her...someone is gonna get a nice car. I've replaced pretty much everything that commonly fails with the 355. :)

    Sure makes it nice to have her now. :)
