    Hello, If anyone can help? I recently purchased a 2001 Spider with 11k miles, It seems to have a sputter almost like a fast clicky valve noise especially when i accelerate and at any speed. is that common? I had a 360 coupe but never a spider. The car runs great and i know these cars are typically a little noisy. I thought maybe its a litte nosier being a spider with less metal around the motor. The car runs great and no lights are on. Should i be concerned? Any info. is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Mine makes the same noise, however I don't notice it all of the time. I just assumed it was lifter tap, but I'll try pulling that lever and see if it goes away. According to Rifledriver, it sounds like it's nothing to worry about.

    I spoke to Rifledriver about a year ago while I was at my local Ferrari shop and he did say he was told by Ferrari during his 360 training that it was nothing to worry about.
