cant catch a break
ok so I just changed my CPS and now the heater control valve pooped the bed. I have something else going on that is worrying me. This is going to be hard to describe so bear with me.
At slower speeds I notice a slight 'resistance'. i can feel it and to me I can hear it but i am very particular about the sounds and feel on my car. Its very random, I can feel it at different speeds accelerating or decelerating. Where do I start in tracking this down? I already posted all my codes pulled by the dealer in my other thread and nothing screamed at me from that. I was doing it then too. Is this tranny, wheel bearing, rear end?
The car has a lot of track miles on it but has been very well maintained. Help please....she may need to get parked till i pay her off and become a weekend driver.
Thanks guys!![bow](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/bowdown.gif)

After the dealer scanned the car and gave you the error codes did they clear all the codes?
Did they reset TCU and Throttle adaptions?
Do you have a data logger to look at TPS, Timing and IAT's?
Have you try disconnecting the trunk battery, leaving is disconnected for several hours and reconnecting it and driving it?
Do you have access to anyone with STAR so that they can run another Quick Test on your car and see what comes back?
It's really hard to know what is going on without additional information.

UPDATE
I changed the heater control valve today...that fixed the heater not working. I hear a rattling sound from near the throttle body every now and then...any ideas? I am about to order plugs and wires....should I just get stock ones...a step colder? And should I order them from the parts store or from eurosport(i think that was the vender with them...)? Same witht he valve covers gaskets....parts store or vender?
my car has headers and secondary cats removed...
