WOW! NEW ECU FLASH

If any of you have the old ECU tune from the dealer (2007 63's) I recommened getting the Dealer to flash it. My car always started in second gear unless I put it in first myself. The car feels like a new car and the trans starts in first every time The shifts switch much later in sports mode and down shifts great. Also when on the freeway if you give it a little push on the gas it will shift down a gear and if you push a little harder it will go down two or three gears. DO THE NEW FLASH Like I said the car shifts like it has a modified TCU Tune no Idea way but it kicks butt over the crappy 2nd gear start

Never heard the final chapter concerning your ECU/battery problem. I take it that you resolved that issue.

I agree with this 110%.. My car was always starting in 2nd. Sometimes it seemed if the idel would fluxuate like it didnt know what gear to go into.. I took it in for this prob and some hesitation issue. My SA adivised me that it was a bad intake manifold gasket and they put a new one on and bolts and reflashed ecu and tcu software and it runs completly different even better Now from when I first purchased the car. I have better throttle response and shift points seem to be higher in the revs as well.. much better

That's right , same here. Yes, my problem is solved. Once James reflashed my old ECU with the Renntech tune all was fine. I had already ordered a new ECU so I had it coded and installed it. I am awaiting yet another ECU and will code that one also, then let the tuning begin
