What I have noticed after ABC pump and SAM module change out
I have had a chance to feel the car out now after the repairs. My input below in case it helps anyone out with any issue(s) they may have.
ABC Pump:
Suspension feels firmer and more authoritative. Since owning I have often thought the suspension allowed the car to shift around to much under hard acceleration. Much better now. Steering feels firmer and more authoritative as well.
SAM Module:
Right Front module was replaced. Car behaves much different than it did before. Accelerates faster. Shifts better. I'm thinking the SAM being out may have put the car's computer in some kind of limp mode though there was no dash indication. This SAM is the one that reports codes so maybe with it out there would be no dash indication of anything.
I'll add more if I think if it.
