Hard acceleration - error

If you have a code reader that can pull the codes that are stored that would help a lot, and if it is a misfire it should store that code, though it’s odd that it goes away. I had a similar issue on a work truck (granted not a Ferrari) and it wound up needing plugs, and while I was in there I put new coils on since a few of them are a real chore to get at. Solved the problem on my truck. But I knew what cylinders reported misfire from the codes I pulled that were stored. Could also be an intermittent electrical issue as it wouldn’t be uncommon.

I think a decent comparable diagnostic tool would be a good place to start.

 

I’m interested in that one too.

 

I can’t answer that question fully but assume no since the standard scan tool isn’t able to communicate with Ferrari specific modules which I’m going to assume is going to be neccicarry, specifically in this case. Hopefully someone that has and confirm this will chime in but there is a lot of talk about certain Bluetooth scanners that have the ability to communicate and pull codes. And if I recall you can use it for live data via your cell phone which would be helpful for intermittent issues.

Then there are the obvious high dollar options which unless you plan to do quite a bit of work on the car yourself might be a poor investment. I hope that when I am ready to make my purchase there will be better options but I try to pay attention when threads do pop up about the various scan tools as I live quite far from my nearest service center and there aren’t any independents near that can do work, though can on older cars. A scan tool is handy and in some cases could show a simple repair, saving an expensive shipping trip to a dealer, that you could do yourself.

 

kambakht, when was the last service done on your car? I agree with azlin75's hunch about the spark plugs. If your next annual service is up in a few months it might be worthwhile to just have it done earlier and mention your concerns to the dealer.

Several years ago someone else had recommended an inexpensive Bluetooth OBD2 tool that he used with his Cali and I bought one. It works as advertised and provides me with the means to pull codes from my car. AFAIK, only Ferrari tools will interpret Ferrari-specific codes but the cheap generic tool I have is adequate as I can always contact my dealer to ask questions before escalating and for the generic stuff there are many web resources with tables and explanations provided by knowledgeable people.

You should use SEARCH on FChat because if your car is not a new model, chances are very high someone else has or several people have already posted on your query. Here are a couple of picts I posted before. There are likely newer and perhaps better tools now available. AFAIK, the OBD2 interface is standard on all cars and I believe the tool I have can be accessed by 3rd Party apps, not just the one from the maker of the tool.
