    3200 not starting

    See if there are fault codes in the ECU and check the fuel pressure at the rails. Also, if the crankshaft sensor is faulty, the spark plugs relay won’t engage when cranking.

    what red immobilizer light? The immobilizer light is a yellow car with a padlock Are there any OBD codes that might point where to look? Crankshaft sensor and fuel pumps are always good places to start

    3200 exhaust clamps

    Anyone knows what kind of screws are used in the exhaust flanges? I bought new back boxes for mine, and of course it’s too much of an hassle for Maserati to stock screws and they no longer supply them. The bolts seem to be copper. Should the screws also be copper?

    Ashtray help - 3200

    Mine was the glovebox handle. So bad I had to instruct passengers not to touch it and to be careful with their legs. Just touching it lightly would transfer black goo onto the fingers. On the plus side, when they are that bad it just takes one pass of alcohol to remove most of it off

    Ashtray help - 3200

    No, that’s a weird effect of the picture. The ashtray is actually new and I just removed the sticky mess and used plastidip

    Ashtray help - 3200

    I'm dealing with the sticky plastics in my 3200 and when I was going to install the ashtray I noticed it doesn't fully cover the hole in the console. It's also apparently sunk into the console. It's been a long time since I removed the ashtray and I don't remember what it's supposed to look...

    Coupe prices - what's happening?

    That guy mixes the 3200 and the 4200 engines when he says that Ferrari built an engine based on the 3200 when in reality the 4200 engine was a joint development between Maserati and Ferrari, if not entirely Ferrari.

    Coupe prices - what's happening?

    I have been toying with the idea of buying a convertible BMW 650 and the prices on those cars are ridiculously low. Even saw an E64 M6 with the V10 engine for under 30k …

    What have you done to your Maserati today?

    Took my 3200 for the last blast of this year before going back to the garage for hibernation and TLC. Can’t get enough of those turbos catapulting the car … must be why I can’t seem to make less than 17L/100 … Fortunately the only light frequently lighting in the dashboard is the fuel reserve...

    3200 dashboard upper face.

    Regarding the stitching, they seem to make them in any combination the customer wants. A local upholster in Luxembourg is out of the question as there aren’t many and prices are through the root. I don’t think my leather is salvageable so I will likely order from these guys.

    3200 dashboard upper face.

    Thread bump. There’s a company on eBay (j-f-customs) selling new leather covers custom made for the 3200 dash top. I’m looking at repairing mine this winter. Has anyone bought from them that can comment on the quality?

    3200 strange hot shutdown/start problem

    Final update: After much procrastination I managed to remove 2 of the 3 spacers I had in the crankshaft sensor although I could not find anywhere what the correct gap should be. It’s currently at around 0.6mm when cold. And my hot start problem is magically gone! It’s a mystery to me why this...

    Disconnected plug

    My 3200 has quite a few of those loose connectors lying around. Most likely pre wiring for extra equipment that was not installed
