    Does any body know if there is an easy to get to the spark plugs on a 2001 Ferrari 360. Do you have to get at them from underneath the car by removing the panels under the car ? Any help is appreciated.

    Use two jacks and lift the car. Take the under cover out. Take the rear wheels out. Take the fender covers and the gravel guards. With all this out you will gain accses to all the sparks locations.

    Hope this helps!

    how do we reset the parameters after doing spark plugs changes without going to ferrari dealership?
    The reason I am asking, my owners manual states all spark plugs and coil changes need to be carried out by dealership!

    Agreed - I wouldn't dream of changing the plugs from underneath.

    You can reset the adaptive values by turning the power off in the front trunk. Please leave the ignition on for 10 seconds before cranking the engine (to allow the motor driven throttle bodies to self learn) and let it idle for a while (so the engine can learn the adaptive values again).

    I take the engine out when I do mine....

    Seriously, if you have to ask how to change the plugs on a 360... you probably shouldn't be doing it yourself. A Boxster or 911 Maybe I can understand.. but the coils are right there.
