Hammer Down

for starters:

1. the heat is a big factor
2. your 60' of 2.2 means that you may have spun the tires and the ecu backed you down.
3. you need more experience launching what can be a tricky car to launch.
4. what type of tires are you running?

I think you just need some practice to get 60's down. also did you let the car cool down at all before running it? Heatsoak is a **** on our cars and really hurts performance.

Intermittent IC pump is likely your culprit, the MPH tells the tale.

That's almost exactly what my car ran right before the pump failed completely.

The good thing is that the fix is free, if under warranty, $175 for a Johnson pump (CM030) if not.

I was thinking the pump too or something else isn't right. When I had 19" Conti3 I would go anywhere from 1.9 to 2.2 on my 60' but still ran mid 12s with 115-117 for trap speed and that was in Sac with the temp being 96 degrees. In fact my first run was with Alan in the car and I started in second gear and left off at the end to stay above 14 so they wouldn't complain about the passenger in the car and I still got a 12.8 @102. I only hit 13.1-13.2 when I was trying different launching techniques and my 60' were 2.4-2.5 from the ESP kicking from all the wheel spin since I loaded it up too much. I'd get it looked at then get back out there and have some fun! So I think it's safe to say he's not really doing anything wrong, who doesn't need help launching these but he can't be the cause for such a low trap speed.

tgme55

i had five run all trap speed was 106 to 107 with 13.2 13.2 13.4 13.6 13.6

Got an open road where you can go TnT the car? When my pump was going out the car would stop climbing around 120mph. If I let off then tried to get back on it that kick the SC gives you wouldn't be there. I'd just cruise for about two minutes then get back on it and the SC would come back on that time. So I knew the pump was failing and took it in. That's generally how I test the pump out. The first time she went out was when these two gorgeous girls flew by me on 11th street in Tracy going to 580. I caught up and they waved and smiled. Then waved me to pass by and when I tried I couldn't, talk about being pissed and thinking wtf not now! So much for looking cool! Oh and it was just a 325i that I couldn't pass so the pump going out does slow her down quite a bit.

tgme55

is there another way to test it without doing it on the street?

Mikesamg

You don't have to get up to 120mph I was just saying that's what happened to mine. The time I was playing with the BMW was never above the speed limit, I was just getting on it hard to climb up to 60 then coming back down and getting back on it again. It didn't take more then a few times for it to shut off. I'd just explain those symptoms to MB and demand the pump get replaced. That's what I did with mine since they clearly will not do a test drive at 120mph to diagnose the car and the codes will not come up. Worse case you get a new pump even if that's not the issue but it sounds like it especially if everything else seems to be running fine.

good time for dealer because i'm having problem with my sunroof and taillight one of my light is brighter than the other

Mikesamg

You're not referring the the left being brighter than the right are you? You know the car like most euro cars has a rear fog light?

RenntechE55

you can get a pump for $145 shipped so you will save $55 over the $200 deductable

Mikesamg

haha I was like wtf where did this come from but I was writing a response when he mentioned the warranty being the Chrysler and having a $200 deductable, haha opps

Yea just order a CM30 pump and save the money.

tgme55

yes my driver taillight is brighter than the passenger

tgme55

my car lower it self at 70 is this normal

Mikesamg

Just when you have the fog lights turned on right? Not sure if you know but the rear driver light when the brakes are not applied and the fog lights are turned on will be brighter then the passenger one. It's a rear fog light, I get told all the time my light is out or pulled over and have to explain that to them.
