Default At long last, I have fuel pres

At long last, I have fuel pressures for my car. The cold pressure was 21 PSI, and the hot pressure was 53 PSI. Once the car was off, the pressure remained good well past 30 minutes. We also adjusted the CO and emissions to their proper level (CO was 3.5 before). We also found that the thermo sensor switch in the coolant tank was bad which may be the cold start issue. Algar Ferrari is mailing us a new one today. I should have it installed by tonight. With a little luck, all the problems should be fixed as to the hot start and cold start issues.

While the car was in the shop, I also flushed the radiator, changed the gear oil (AGIP Rotra LSX 75W/90), replaced the brake hoses (OEM Ferrari), flushed the brake fluid, changed the oil and filter (AGIP 10W-40 SYNT & UFI filter), changed the radiator fan switch (fans come on at a lower temp now - about 190 instead of 200+), and replaced the thermostat.

Thanks again for your help.
Ken
