550 starting problems
Discussion
This ferrarichat thread (which I haven't read in detail) seems to eventually focus on the immobilizer.

I've experienced most 550 issues over the years, it's probably your ancient immobiliser as mentioned above. Do you have the red remote? A good auto electrician should be able to either fix it or wire a bypass to the system. What was cutting edge in the 90's is ancient technology now.
Still trying to get to the bottom of it….. 9 times out it 10 no key start and then it will start for 6 or so times then revert to no start. When it doesn’t respond other remotes and even the red one have no effect. Very intermittent and frustrating. I suspect the immobilizer and will speak to the Ferrari dealer this week when I take my 458 for service.
