TouchShift
Is there a proper way to use the "tiptronic" mode? LOLLLLL... I'm very new to this concept and today was the first day I used it. The car was jerky... and it felt more powerful, different sound too! I think I'm liking this mode, is there anyway I can harm the engine or transmission by using this mode? Today "TouchShift" made me forget about all my problems. Especially after I raced a SVT Cobra.

So if I keep it under redline I'm fine? LOL... cuz ruBENZ is saying it can't harm anything really. I have no problem upshifting, downshifting is the problem. LOL, I guess I'll just have to work on it... IF it doesn't harm the tranny or the engine. LOL, after I using the manual mode, I turned off my car and heard a clicks that I never hear. HAHA, I guess I wasn't shifting great... at all.

It's not my MAF, I highly doubt it... I scanned twice (nothing came up). Plus I cleaned it, still nothing. And I've been driving it for a month like this, no CEL or it getting worse. Well you tell me, since you most likely know more than me because I'm new to cars.

The MAF will not produce a CEL (codes: 0170;0173) until it has completely crapped out. From your previous posts, I have determined that you have an issue with your MAF. Cleaning the MAF is either temporary, or useless, if your MAF is on the verge of crapping out. The difference between a new MAF and a worn (even if it still functions) is phenomenal. A way to determine if your MAF is going south is to go WOT (wide open throttle) when you are at highway speeds. Then count the seconds it takes for the torque (blast off) to kick in. A healthy MAF will take less than two seconds. A worn MAF will take more than three seconds. Just my three cents...inflation
