oh ok. I had a completely different code than. Your code probably did have to do with the fuel system. But I wonder why your car threw the code but his didnt.

Haven't had any issues. She sat for almost 3 weeks while we were in vacation, but started right up as soon as I hit the button! So much difference in it and the ML...LOL! I really wanted to take the E on vacation, but ultimately am glad we took the ML as a few of the roads we took we're damaged or under construction and really tore up. Plus, it kept the 4,500 miles off the E as well...
It's been so hot here I haven't been driving too hard too often, don't want to damage anything(cough-cough-cyl5-valve-guide-cough). Also, the front driveshaft's u-joint is coming apart, so I'll be replacing that soon as well... definitely don't want that breaking under power! I have the new driveshaft, just need to install next weekend. Next after that will be ordering the rear rims(17") and drag radials. We should start getting some cooler weather soon, then I'll be getting back to trying for my 10 second pass.

Hey NOTA_AMG been a while. so me and a few other guys are now on ECU+TCU and are at like 12s 1/4s. Did the custom tune help u break 12s or something else? Seems like u jump from 12 to 11.63 in this thread and wondering what drove that.

my fastest time on custom tune is 11.3 @ 122.
I run 11.7-11.8 on off the shelf Stage 2 tune. Hopefully I'll be able to make some more runs soon and see if I can top those times. Getting my other hip replaced in a few weeks, so I'll be out of commission for a minute...

you ran half a second faster on a custom tune? Does that include the TCU tune?

I went from 12.0 on Stage 2 to 11.7 on Custom tune, then to 11.3 when I added the TCU tune.

I got one more trick up my sleeve before I do that. I will be in the 10's soon, but you'll all have to wait for the news after it happens. I'm piecing together what I need for the mod now, but it will have to wait for just a bit as I'm getting my other hip replaced in 3 weeks(had one done 16 months ago...). I should have all the new goodies purchased b the time I'm finished with my rehab, so probably May/June for the build to be complete. I'm not replacing the turbos either, sticking with the stock ones for a little bit longer.
Stay tuned!
