    Still working on my fuel cap door

    I posted this picture earlier on my first thread on this subject. Since then I've tested everything you guys have suggested in that thread without any luck. This picture is a shot of a disconnected two-pin connector that originates from up in the area of the fuel door solenoid. It seems...

    Getting the Fuel Cap Door Open

    Maseratisti: Maybe I'm not using the right search term(s), but nothing is coming up on this issue. My 2001 4200 needs gas and all of a sudden the fuel cap door is not responding to the switch in the glove box. I've located and tried pulling the "cable" release (mine is actually a nylon cord)...

    Shipping European Cars to U.S.

    Anyone had any experience with this? Can a brand and model that was in fact sold across the U.S. by the factory, be easily imported as an individual car when it was originally sold and titled in Europe? Something like a 4200 or a GranTurismo? Any rough idea what shipping costs might be...

    Learned Something New: Posted this on MaseratiLife too

    Again, this is likely just another post in my award-losing "something I didn't know that everyone else does" series, but here goes anyway. Let a friend drive my 2002 4200 Coupe/CC and afterwards popped the hood so he could listen to that little jewel just purring away. Drove off with all...

    Identified Throttle Wire

    Admittedly a piece of "micro-information", but I just finished the DBW Module upgrade on my 4200 Coupe and managed to mis-wire one wire. This may be well known information but I hadn't seen it before. The wire at pin number 69 on the factory ECU connector, just to the left of the black wire at...

    While cruising under the passenger side carpet...

    I found this (while doing my FD DBW install). I was wondering if anyone knows what it goes to? One possibility is that as my 2002 4200 doesn't have the door post area switch to turn the air bags on and off, that this is the unused signal wire for it. Any other suggestions? It is a yellow...

    Center Console Refurbishment

    Posted this on the Maserati Life website too. Just all had my center console switches refurbished on my 2002 Coupe. They were not in terrible shape (compared to some I've seen), but definitely needed some TLC. Removed both consoles (1: display/number pad, and 2: Temp controls). My "Reverse"...

    Don't know if you guys buy much from Formula Dynamics; I have not yet, just made my first purchase today. Just thought I'd advise everyone though that they are having a sale all this week and knocking "around" 15% off a number of items on their website. You can check them out at...
