I recieved my ECU today from Kleemann, and I now have power steering again.

The ECU reprogram at the dealer worked.

I took the car out this evening for a test run and after 4th gear, going into 5th gear, the car starts loosing power, then starts doing this violent shake like it wants to push me back.

I took it on the highway then floored it a few times. When I got off the highway, the car felt great. The violent shaking stopped.

so..... I stopped to get a bite. then started the car again, and the shaking came back. So I stomped on the throttle a few times again, and it went away.

Seems like the car is happy when I abuse her.

I was told that the ECU tune is adapting to the car, and I need to put miles on it so it can learn about the new system.

I was also told that I might have a bad MAF sensor.

Modding cars is fun but can be such a PITA!! Hope you resolve the issues.

Glad it all worked out for you. At least you had the R1 to cheer you up during the downtime...

I wish, LOL! Sold the R1 after the birth of my second child. Looking for a Harley Vrod midnight special.

Still miss the r1 though.

I decided to take a ride into D.C. (china town), and ran into Full Throttle.

Took a pic with my iPhone after chatting for a while. Full Throttle, it was nice meeting you bro. Your car looked sweet out there, and I love the carbon lip and the wheels

.

By the way, my car gave me no problems tonight, and she runs great now. I did't realize how important, and sensitive these MAF sensors can be. I gave my old one a couple of hard knocks, to force it down into place, and thats what messed it up. Those things are sensitive to vibrations. Got one for $100 at Patomac German Auto, Frederick Md.

Brent, happy to see your ride back up and going. Pass that contact info for Patomac. I think I may need a MAF.

I get slight shaking/vibration when at idle. I looked at the motor mounts, they seem to be fine. I am due for the transmission service/coolant flush, I will mention that when I get it done. Someone else mentioned that after they cleaned the MAF the slight shaking went away.

What do you think?

lol! Glad you made it home safe bro!

It felt so good to be out there again. I've been up since 7 am, thanks to my two little human alarm clocks over here. Lol!

Watch out for those random DC compliance check points!!!
