    Anyone had this problem ? Even after changing the ecu which is the common cause of failure to start, the car still can't start. Definitely not the battery or the starter. Let me know. Tq

    More info? And why "definitely not the battery"? Seen many 458's and Speciale batteries causing starting problems.

    Stupid thought but make sure you are pressing the brake pedal hard enough. I had a problem where sometimes my car wouldn't start and even though my foot was on the brake pedal, I wasn't pushing hard enough. Sensor on the pedal was probably corroded.
