well after 13 months in various Indy's she is fixed and had the most expensive, intensive independent check....
history so going back to May 2015 I replaced both my variators, oil accumulator, new spark plugs, new cam cover seals and had injectors sonic cleaned by garage with new filters
issue car started great and drove great, had higher temp than normal and failed almost every time starting when hot. when cold it was on first turn over. due to this she has been off the road most of the year and i've missed a few events I would have like to have gone to.
investigation
took her to 3 respected indy garages who spent 60+ hours between them investigating.
Indy1 who diagnosed faulty ECU after software upgrade.
2nd indy did extensive testing top to bottom, confirmed ECU ok and fixed an upgrade corruption.
we also had maserati technical support assistance, same guy who looked after the car when Jodie had it....
we got to the point were bills were mounting and not getting any further forward, so was almost at the point of scrapping her. not wanting to give up - one last go...
Indy 3 suggested a complete set of injectors after 2 days investigation
SHE IS FIXED
thousands of pounds down but i am so pleased she is fixed and back, also glad the extensive investigation done by Indy2 showed she was in great condition and no other issues found...
fix we think when the software was first updated by Indy1 it got corrupted plus the injector service broke the injectors causing too much fuel which caused starting and heating issue. having 2 issues caused some confusion with different results... yes also pi££ed with the injector service....
she starts when hot, temp is as normal again, sat in traffic for an hour and temp hardly moved, still starts great when cold and drives maybe better now than when i first got her some 6yrs ago...
Massive massive massive thank you to Dan, Myles and Tim for all their help, support and getting her fixed...
