Mikelly Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 First the good... THing PULLS (or Did! ) like a freight train in 6th gear, making it actually a usable gear. I'm truly impressed with how well it was running. Strong everywhere and it certainly felt like I had an additional 75-100 HP and gobbs more torque! However, I never took it past 4K Rpms... Getting there was fun and fast... Now the bad... Got a check engine light, and a "Service Active Handling System" code for it at the mid point on my 50+ mile drive. On the last 10 miles coming back the car didn't want to idle and was having intermittent running/ FI/ Ignition issues... Gonna get a code scanner and see what is up when I get back from Vacation.

mark Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 I got the service active handeling light when I replaced the brake pads and bled the brakes. It went away the next time the car was started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelly Posted September 2, 2005 Author Share Posted September 2, 2005 I thought that cycling the ignition would do it, but I did that about 10 times while out on my trip, stopping to check underhood and coolant (Burping it just to be safe!) and nothing seemed to work... I'm hoping the whole hesitation and poor running was the car failing into limp home mode... Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
