HI I'm new here.
I've just bought a 1999 3200 Maserati, and it's beautiful, dark blue and cream leather….It's showing 39,000 mile, but I have no history with it and only 1 key, I've managed to buy a second key from a local company in Hull for £100, so at least I now have a spare key. I have no history with it, but that was reflected in the price and I can only look at the last 4 mileages on the MOT, but it would appear that in the last couple of years the car has only done a couple of thousand each year. I've removed the alarm (because I don't have any fobs for it) and I'm going to send this to Abacus who can map some new Fobs to it.
All looks great but the car now stops whilst driving, fortunately as I pull up and the engine dies and then won't start; the engine turns over but doesn't fire. If I leave it for 20 minutes or so to cool down then all is good and it runs, but I can't keep it like this.
I borrowed a diagnostic code reader, and the first time showed lots of faults:
p0110 air temp
p0560 battery voltage
0330 knock sensor 2
p0335 rpm sensor
0208 injector circuit open cylinder 8
0326 knock sensor 1 circuit
0331 knock sensor circuit 2
1107 sensor heater circuit upstream catalyst bank 2 sensor 1
p0120 throttle potentiometer
0221 throttle pedal position sensor
And then on subsequent stops I can read
P0335 RPM Sensor
And sometimes P0500 Vehicle speed sensor or 0326 Knock sensor
I believe the real problem is the P0335 RPM Sensor, this is the re-occurring code….
I've ordered and just received a replacement RPM Sensor (£15.00) from Eurospares, and I also ordered a Cam belt kit.
I'm going to fit both the sensor and the cam belt kit later this week and then all being well, will use the car again at the weekend. I also ordered a new Oil filter, but when I look at the dipstick and look at the existing oil; it looks clean, so will probably leave that until later during the year – unless someone advices me to also change this. As I said earlier I have no history (document or otherwise) with the car. I'm starting my own now by keeping the receipts for the service I'm about to do.
I'll post my findings on here after the replacement parts have been fitted.
All good wishes
Paul
