I guess that says it all....If i'm sitting at a dead stop and I stomp on the accelerator my A/T check warning flashes on a couple of times and then if I back off slightly it's ok. It seems like I get no immediate power off the line either.

If I take off a little slower and then stomp on it, she goes like there's no tomorrow.

I've always told the dealer the tranny in these cars suck, and they did replace a major part just to make me happy; but why would the A/T light be coming on?

I've blown a couple of MAF's and I'm affraid that may happen again. The A/T light comes on with others when you blow a MAF.

Let me know what you think.

Let me know what you think.

Help please

 

sounds too easy but ...traction control? My 6 speed doesn't have it but auto's do (some) The SLK32 AMG I had for a month flashed a lite on the dash when the traction control was on and also limited power. Thats what it sounds like to me.

 

I know....I'm thinking the same thing, but I can't imagine that TC would prevent me from getting out of the way of something quickly by restricting my power.

It could be though....

With all the mods I have done, every little thing makes me wonder...

yep. tc will cut power to keep the wheels from spinning which (the computer thinks) will help you get out of the way quicker.

try turning off tc and repeating to see if you get the a/t light.
