Dear all,
i'm writing to report a problem I have with my '02 CC spyder.
After the latest works (new F1 pump, new Alternator, newElctro pump in CC) the car was finally driving as it is meant to. It did so for around a month of everyday driving.
The car initially lost power above 5000 rpm or so. Passed that mark the engine would not pull anymore. This was after refilling at my usual gas station.
If drove lightly there would be no sign of any problem, but when pushing the gas down with some energy the car would not respond properly, as if the engine was chocking, and I would get a BLINKING CEL. As soon as I'd release the gas the CEL would shut off.
Blinking CEL light is something I'm not familiar with.
The car was drivable as a normal non-performance car.
After a second refill at a different station after few days (I normally put around 10 gallons above reserve) things got ugly, with the car barely able to move from stand still in 1st gear without choking dead. Would not be able to pass 3000 rpm without choking.
Needless to say that the car is sitting in my garage. I'm waiting the visit of a Maserati tech with the computer to check what's up with the car in a few hours (home delivery
).
I was wondering if any of you experienced anything like this.
My first thought was that the cause is bad gas as the problem seems to be related to the fuel system.
All other gauges where reading fine, temp was slightly higher than normal though nothing alerting, but everything else was reading fine.
If it really is due to bad gas... what would be the procedure to fix the issue?
I'll get back with any significant update after the computer reading
