I’ve decided that I am going to track all the issues, testing, etc that my car has/is undergoing and create a master list(s) of all this to make it easier to try and determine what has been overlooked and prevent duplicate efforts as I try and resolve the ‘chugging’ issues my F355 is experiencing. Thus, I have created the following online spreadsheets that you should also be able to view:
I’ll update each as I go along so that everything is in a single place that people can view if needed. If you have any feedback or suggestions for me on what has or hasn’t been checked please let me know and I’ll add to the. Let’s apply the ‘hive’ mind here to help resolve the issues. It may also help others down the track.
So let’s get the ball rolling with the results as well:
1. Checked function of both Check Engine Lights and both Slow Down lights – ok
2. Carried out load test of battery – passed
3. Checked charging system and confirmed alternator operating correctly with engine running. Output voltage approx. 14.0-14.2v. Noticed engine not running smoothly, slightly rough idle.
Summary
1. Dash lights = Good
2. Battery = Good
3. Alternator = Good
Issue detected – slightly rough idle
Online spreadsheets updated.
Love the F355
