Re: First Kill I think it had 268hp according to all the websites. the new ML 500 will have 302hp and the new ML 63 AMG will have 500hp. The new ML 63 will be something worth looking out for. of course there wont be many on the street, but it will be fast...

Re: Black Ty Bellevue, WA I think it had stock wheels but it was hard to tell at the angle. It was really clean and I am pretty sure its not Zav's. I think its someone not on this site.

Just spotted a black one with a lower intercooler scoop. Driving on 148th near eastgate. Seen it a couple times so I assume he lives around there. Very clean, wish my Ty was running so I could be out there.

Re: was running great last night. not today well for a while i couldn't figure out what was going on. so i had a shop look at it and they said i had some bad electrical problems. fixed that and re-programed my apex-i avc-r. after that it ran amazing. but then the other day i jumped in and...

Re: was running great last night. not today well I had it tuned by a shop who deals with turbo's. I will try clearing the codes and looking at the lines. thanks

Last night got the ty back from a shop who tuned it. It ran harder than it ever has. then I let it rest for the night. Got in this morning and it was stumbling, hesitating, and idle was real bad. It even died on me just idling. Anyhow the codes I pulled were 21, 31, 34. Where do I start...

Re: Engine not turning over heatshield it after u drop in a new starter. also would help if you heatshield your wires.

Re: Runs like junk suddenly weird. same thing happening with me. last night i got my ty back from a shop who did some work on it. it ran so hard. this morning i fire it up and i'm getting the same symptoms. hard idle, hesitatationg, stumble, even died on me. tell me what u find out.

Re: Anyone ever felt this? I've gone through a lot. had the motor out twice. didn't drive it for 1/2 a year cuz i was sad. finally had it tuned last week and it ran like hell. then today i start it up and it wont idle smooth or run well. I really thought I had it the way I wanted it...

yea I wasn't on it on the second run. But that is when the weird noise came. You can see a lot more knock also even when there is no boost. not sure what to do now... bring it in a shop to check? the noise sounds like its coming from the passenger side of the motor.

yea I'm going to kick myself if it's because of the vac lines... I have a brand new set waiting to be installed, and that was my next project. Which vac lines should i pay special attention to? I guess the only way to tell if I have a bent rod is to bring it into a shop? thank everyone...

thanks for the response... any ideas which lines to check first? yea my IC pump for some reason is not circulating the water. it's on, its making noise, but the water is not flowing. only 3 years old too. just scares me cuz it almost sounds like the same time i bent a rod. thanks, MikeC

My luck with this Ty continues... Well... after re-doing the starter with a remote solenoid and stuff I took the Ty for a run with datamaster... I'm afraid something went bad after my second run. Maybe something internal is broken. During the 2nd run the Ty would just idle real bad and...

what if you want to glue 2 parts together like a butt-joint. what kind of glue would you use?

Mr Hood, I'm looking for the heat protector for the boots of the wires. I know summit/jegs carries them but if you do, I'll buy it from you guys. much appreciated. Scott, good to hear from you. hope things are going well on your end. tell me when you're heading back over here... -MikeC
