Hi all, I am in the middle of my cam timing process on my 550 Maranello. Thanks to all the info here on the forum, and especially the exceptional...
Yes, I seem to remember to have read that somewhere ( I read a lot of threads on the 550 service, like 10 hours of postings, just to educate...
Thanks, 10% too low would sound logical to me, as the present timing belts are 84 HZ at the most when put under tension by rotating the engine by...
Dot 4, same as brake fluid. (same canister)
No, as far as know you can't adjust anything on this hydraulic clutch. The adjustment possibilities in the clutch pedal are only there to set back...
And try bleeding the clutch! (done from below the bellhousing location) Air expands when warm (as does liquid...) maybe the pressure of pushing...
Hi all, old thread, I know. But for me relevant, as I am starting with the XLmajor on my 550. I downloaded the Gates Carbon app, to check the...
The garage bought them, I do not know. I think in Italy with Autoepoca, but I can't imagine that this specialist company would sell inadequate...
Ok, small update, did the first testdrive today after installing new fuel pumps. Bosch this time, the garage previously had used a C-brand rip off...
Ok, so the weather is still cold, and wet and muddy, but I was tired of waiting so I took the 550 out for a test drive with the new pumps. And...
New Bosch pumps came in, and were an easy install since I had everything out already. As suggested by Ferraridriver I also bought some...
So I drained the tanks,at least the pumps were able to do that fast with the fuel lines not connected to the rails. Removed the pump covers,...
Ok, thanks. So it sounds like my new pumps are not to the correct specs. Time to drain the tank again, open it up and check the numbers!
The occuring issue is that the car often has no power and it feels like one bank temporarily has shut down when you try to accelerate. If I then...
Hi all, I am trying to find out if my (new) pumps have enough flow, since the car is having driveability problems ( The electrical part of the...
Maybe i misunderstood the TPS / ECU pin 71 and 44 test, I tested for volts, not resistance...so when I measured nothing, I reconnected everything...
Thanks both for suggesting and thinking. I did some more testing, this time I backprobed the TPS's (measuring on the disconnected ECU connector...
Just came back from more garagetesting. The dip in the MAF value when lightly touching the pedal seems smaller, but the highest value at 2400 rpm...
I have read the section in the WSM about the TPS's , but in that description you need a breakout box tool on the ECU. Impossible to find for a 5.2...
I noticed that the original cord is very long, but the distance it has to cover is not that long at all. 3.27 meters seems about twice the length...
