Here’s What FINALLY Fixed my Cheap Salvage Ferrari!!! (EVERY Ferrari 360’s Fatal Flaw)

1. in california she woulda got off 4 murder

2. first mistake was talking to the cops..u can nevr trust em

3. The place where the ECU was repaired reminds me of electrical engineering labs when I was in college.

4. hi sam
   a small ward regards your bmw i8 people who live in uk found out some time past on older bmw headjustit was a common problem

5. Terrible experience with a 2007 Benz CL500 (CL 550 in the Americas), sent the ECU to a specialized ECU test and repair shop in my city which said there was a software issue. The only solution was have it swapped by the dealer for a considerable amount of money.
   An OBD will never be able to tell you the brain of the car is damaged, error codes showed problems with O2 sensors, alternator and throttle body. The amazing thing is the dealer proposed me to change the O2 sensors and throttle body first time I went there, I changed the throttle body myself (getting a used part from the scrapyard) with no difficulties and had sensors replaced by a mechanic but the dashboard kept showing the orange check engine light. On my second visit the dealer proposed me to change the ECU which had to be shipped from Germany, it took three weeks to get it even though I "only" live some 800 km from there (500 miles).

6. One thing I've learned from Sam is, don't waste my money on a Farrari. What an overpriced piece of crapp.

7. You need to programme the faulty chip(s) to retrieve the programme you need a. Micro development system save it and download it to the new chip (if is a commercially available part). Software is the problem in today's world not hardware as it used to be).

8. Jfc, someone make an ASIC replacement for the OEM ECU

9. Great job 👍 on the electronic Control Board.
   I had problems with my 1977bmw control board, sitting behind the glove box.
   An easy fix, compared to your issue.

10. Sam, I will accept this car from you right now. I am not kidding.

11. Wow great video! Really liked learning about the ECUs and the testing equipment

12. Put a Coyote engine into that car & your problems are over.Enjoyed Jose,s tutorial on ECU repair.

13. Top vidéo guys

14. Either Bosch or Ferrari need to step up and deal with this issue; it's insane to me how quickly companies say, "glad you enjoyed our product, no we won't help you keep it running, buy a new one"!

15. U can't build a speediuno? U can probably design ur own adapter maybe?

16. That ECU fixer must be a genius .

17. Surely the fast charge will,,fry the battery?😮

18. If only I had kept my 55 chev! Talk about simple. The price of cars in the 50's and 60's cost about as much of a tune up today!

19. The first thing is to get rid of these stupid computers. They have been the source of money for these crooked car manufacturers and parts corporations.

20. Corporations operate now a day like mobsters and crooks.

21. I'm sry guys repairing ANY automobile shouldn't be so complicated. How can it be that when something goes wrong it takes forever to figure out what's wrong ???? It doesn't make sense.
    These automobiles should be fitted with modules for certain sections of the car for what they do. When something goes wrong (with is planned in the design) with that section it should be swapped out for another (that part should be rebuilt) and you should be on your way without being kept hostage for days & robbed by the dealer and manufacturer of the individual parts. (that are made defective by the oem part manufacturers)

22. i love your 360 such awesome car

23. Rip all that out 6 Weber carbs & go enjoy your car as it was meant To be enjoyed

24. Great series! I really like your approach to DIY your cars and find smart solutions to keep costs down. Also the documentation on how ECUs can be tested and fixed is just great! Keep on going!

25. specialized ECU repair – incredible !!

26. IMO, the long term solution is after market ECUs.

27. There should be a YouTube channel that finds all these small workshops and crafts men and women that can fix and repair anything and highlight there unique talents and skills

28. Your point exactly. It is a niche market and not sure how lucrative it could really be.

29. I noticed (on the ECU) in the top right corner that some solder repair was done. Perhaps it wasn't correctly repaired. Could that be your clicking issue? Make me wonder…

30. If he only knew then what he knows now what gets me is how Ferrari didn't inform people with a sticker saying that jumping the battery will destroy the ECU specially seeing how many people buy these cars and leave them sitting for months killing out the battery

31. Dope

32. That engine simulator tool is one of the coolest things I’ve seen in a while

33. I just finished watching all of the videos for this project. All I got to say is WOW!! Specialized ECU Repair was amazing!

34. Great content, and I'm really impressed with the work of ECU Specialized Repair, but a word of advice…….. NEVER EVER connect a battery terminal without tightening it up……. The reason being is, when you crank an engine, the starter will pull a few hundred amps from the battery (depending on engine size, battery capacity C.C.A., resistance of the starter and ground wiring Etc). If your battery connections are loose, then you are trying to transfer a large electric current through a bad connection, which can result in an electric arc at the battery terminals causing chemical deposits to occur on the battery terminals which form an INSULATOR (i.e. the battery is no longer electrically connected to the vehicle). This sudden disconnection of the vehicle battery supply can damage or corrupt vehicle computer systems, or even cause the vehicle battery to explode (car batteries can give off Hydrogen gas)…………. So please make sure to tighten your battery terminals……..

35. I wish I had the patience, persistence and determination of this guy. Nothing but respect for him.

36. Sam that should be illegal for them to go and continue to charge you for things that aren't broken It should be criminal and should be prosecutable

37. Sam I just need my truck to work right! This transmission in my ford explorer sucks it's a 06 nothing but trouble 😢

38. What a cheap skate, typical yank

39. I love how you use the terms in your videos “if I understand” you have no clue

40. That jump start is probably the worst rated in Amazon, why you promote rubbish?

41. It’s Italian made, americans Dont have the brain power to work on these vehicles

42. Buy and repurpose the ARM-based cell phone SOAC processors that can talk to a custom sub-bus that can talk to the car's CanBus. Rip the firmware from the factory ECU directly through the OBDII port, save it to another computer then load it onto these generic chips. This is mostly a somewhat fussy interface design exercise but if you can repurpose existing high end cell phone system-on-a-chip processors with 4-16 cores and high clock rates, you can run any car electronic backbone out there and not expensively. I think the real problem may be a legal one, with car companies denying permission to copy proprietary software and firmware, but, if they aren't making them anymore, they won't have a legal leg to stand on. The car owner could argue he/she is merely repopulating code he already has a license to use, to replacement hardware.

    Actually, if you could do that, buy ARM phone processors and build custom Can bus interfaces, you could have quite a profitable enterprise.

43. You look like Mattia Binotto

44. I wonder how powerful these ECU’s are. How Likely is it that a replacement ecu can become an audrino project

45. so…whats the fatal flaw? The alarm was activated?

46. It's pronounced "neesh" not "nitch". 😁
