Ferrari Mailing List: Followup on hotstart problem on mondial

[Britt2Asa (Britt2Asa]

Hi Guys,

A few months ago I asked for advice in solving a hotstart problem on a 
buddies Mondial. Basically it wouldn't turn over when very hot until it sat and 
cooled for about 40 minutes. Lots of suggestions, all valid I am sure but in 
the 
interest of list information the problem has been traced! The problem has been 
solved by disconnecting the alarm/immobiliser. Rather than being a Ferrari 
wiring issue the heat from the engine was causing a failure in the alarm 
system. 
Not sure how old it was (it wasn't new) but just something to keep filed away 
for the future. Naturally it was the LAST thing we checked!
