    My 355 has been sitting for about 3 months. Ran fine last time I started it. It was on a battery trickle charger. I have determined that it is a fuel problem as I can squirt gas into the injector trumpets and it will fire and run briefly. Any suggestions as to what to check?

    Yup. He first needs to check the two fuses (passenger footrest area) for the two fuel pumps, and he needs to see if the fuel pump relays are getting both power and activation signal.

    Those two tests will help narrow down the problem area.

    Kudos to him for knowing to squirt starter fluid to already determine that he's got a fuel issue.

    Fuses are OK. I can hear the fuel pump running. Looks like I am going to have to have it transported to the dealer in Atlanta. It is about time for a belt change any way.

    Do you have an F1? Perhaps you are hearing the F1 pump running? Just a thought.
