Could just be a bad contact, check all the wiring, fuses, connectors etc.

I had this in my CT too when I had it new, in the end it was simply a bad contact in the fuse/relais box.

Yes, that box in the rear trunk, it contains all the relais for the ignition, fuel pump, radiator fans etc.

If you have to go into the car deeper, contact Chad Bolles from this site.
He has wiring schematics for the Q.V. . The factory says they don't exist but Chad has a set. He may also have a owners manual. I was able to get one for my car directly from Lamborghini. I was told it was the last one on the shelf. (Don't know whether it's true or not but it helped me make the decision to buy it an easy one)

One of the guys out of Calgary had mentioned an intermittant problem with the CT cutting out after it was warm. It would cut out. after approx. 10 mintutes he could start it again. He traced to a wire in the ignition system, repalced it and solved the problem.(Sorry can't remember which wire it was)

PM me if it sounds like your problem and I will get you his e-mail address.

Carlo,

Good choice.
I fitted my MSD back in June/July (from Raymond) and have have no trouble with it.

Fantastic service / easy to fit / Fantastic product!

Ian

The trouble with history..... it's just one thing after another!
