    Hi everyone. Just registered my first Ferrari this past weekend. '97 F355. Maybe it's just me getting used to the car (probably), but there seems to be a pretty heavy off-idle (or full pedal release) hesitation. It almost feels like the throttle body is getting held shut by vacuum then "breaks free" until the pressure applied to the go pedal. PPI showed no issues. Anyone else get this?

    I have it also... it feels like a lean spot before the car takes off. This has always been a problem with fuel injection. On most bikes that I have owned with injection there seems to be a lag or hesitation right off idle that carbureted bikes dont experience. This is common for 355's though. Mine runs great none the less!!

    If you check the archive there is a known 355 issue which is just the throttle cable/linkage sticking - chances are it needs a jolly good lube
