I would remove it and see if the problem still persists. That way you take the sprintbooster out of the equation.

Re: SprintBooster

I couldn't have said it better: "I would remove it and see if the problem still persists. That way you take the sprintbooster out of the equation"

I will add that would I do that right away; you could get into a very bad situation quickly with this scenario. Good luck and keep us posted on the outcome.

I have a good Sprintbooster (removed from my 05 E500 when I traded it) available if you or anyone wants it. My 550 really has no need for it.
