My first CEL, with FMIC and ASP pulley

turned out to be the secondary air pump....

no issues with warranty CPO repairs... Penske West Covina gave me a loaner and I was able to pick up the car the next day.

No mention about my FMIC or pulley, of course my problem did not stem from those parts.

3 months ago.. they replaced my kompressor cluch with my ASP pulley on as well. No issue at all.

I was a bit worried before taking the car.. but I knew there was a very, very, very slight chance my CEL was due to my overszie pulley or oversize HE.

I have 7 more months left on my CPO, before my "Ease Care" extended warranty will be put to use.

I'm glad everything went smooth at the dealership for you. I have heard and read some horor stories.

Good deal, sounds like a good dealer!

My dealer's part of the Penske family and I've had very good experiences with them...

I could feel a bit more slugglish during take off..

and during freeway driving.

but I drove the car for about 5 days with the CEL, and I knew it was something with the air pump or emission.

well.. this is my 2nd CEL..

i'm thinking its due to the 2nd air pump once more.. or air sensor.

I was playing around with my Y splitter and probably forgot to plug the small hose that connects to the engine block.

I noticed it was loose when I was checking for problems.

I made an appointment to take it in.

checked gas tank, air intake boxes, belts. ect.

let's see what they say.

just in case somebody else runs into a CEL.

It turned out to be the 2nd air pump relay once more. Most likely I will get my ECU flashed once more.

Probably good idea I did not pull on the ECU tuning yet. One reason I rather have a local tuner.. for these types of issues.

testing the C32 intake mod on my E55.

Us on the "lower tier" of AMG found some great products and working with Brandon on a few things that can help on this side.

The splitter on the C32 and E55 fit perfectly, except for the air intake hoses.

Still work in progress..
