    Sometimes you have to send a clear message...

    Was there another car manufacturer you were really into before Maserati?

    Fuel flap release

    I had this problem on my 2002 Coupe. It was the relay that needed to be replaced. I now occasionally put white lithium grease on the release catch.

    An oldie, but a goodie.

    Here's something old but fun I found on YouTube.com. It's an original Maserati promotional video on the Spyder, with race driver Ivan Capelli, demonstrating how to shift, and explaining all the driving features available with the Cambiocorsa. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gV-J1OF_t4
