    Had the car out sat and ran great but at end of drive I noticed a rough idle. The engine has ran brilliantly since the install of the GCK so I thought maybe bad gas or something. Went to start on Sunday and would barely idle at all sounded like lost some cylinders or other major issue.
    Started checking things and noticed the gruppe m intake hoses came off on both sides not totally but thought maybe it was the problem. Took off engine sill covers to access and noticed the ICV was partly out of one of the rubbers. Reinstalled the valve, started, ran perfect.

    Moral of the story. The ICV is very sensitive and if car runs very bad it's a quick check before you get worried. Just my 2 Cnts

    That's good to hear it got fixed! Saturday I had a few cels come up on my 348 after driving 20 minutes. Researched and found a ton of old stuff Ernie posted that eventually fixed it. Issue was either dirty maf or loose O2 connection. Sprayed the mafs, and reset ecu's and all is good. Thanks Ernie!

    There are a ton of fixes posted on fchat that has made life much easier for new owners like me. Ferrari ownership would be much more difficult without them.

    Agree! This forum is priceless. And to think that I drove behind you for a while at the FCA spring rally makes this forum even cooler.
    But then, one fellow in the pack (not BLUE90) drove so slow that the last 1/4 of the pack got lost when he guessed which turn the rally took, and he guessed.....wrong.

    Haha there we were....7 or 8 Ferraris doing figure-8's tryting to figure out where the hell we were.

    The moment I began to want to complain and say "I knew this would happen!", I reminded myself I was driving a Ferrari on a beautiful day, and that I don't have anything to complain about.
