Is this something u can check out for me man?
If you decide to take it to the dealer, see Mark Jarvis at Mile High Acura and tell him Jamaun sent you. He gives me the hook up cause he has a Ford that I hook him up on. Plus I've been going there for like 10 yrs now.

Ya Mark is a good guy. Got a free oil change last time i was there and he gave me a Loaner for the day. Also Matt Tippet is another cool guy

I can check it out. We have a scan tool to read if you have a bad wheel sensor.

but can you reintialise (sp?) the system if indeed the speed sensor is bad, and is replaced (at least on the newer 04 tl's and such) that is the question

I can only read it. I can't reprogram it. I think only Honda's scan tool can do that. I had to have Honda reprogram my TCS because I replaced the brake switch.

use to have that one many years ago, especially when they took forever to boot up, now it's mainly the autoenguinity one (laptop based), with also a BDM one (factory subaru one with their asian package), and a CARMAN one for those korean cars


but yeah it sucks with how expensive some of the f***ing pieces of shit are to keep updated, luckily that auto enguinity one is actually only like $1-200 to keep updated yearly (actually it is every couple of months, when ever they get a big enough update to do) and you only pay a yearly suscription fee too, not a per update fee
only thing that sucks is when updating it is like a 50mb file, (but would be just fine on a faster connection not like work)
and it does every thing we need it too, it is kinda our go to scantool now

so i would highly recommend looking into it


manure wagons (BMW) it does really good, cause the owner is a BMW nut, and actually races his own M3

Yeah, sadly Firestone doesn't want to invest into something like that. I might have to get a one of those or a Modus.

Ehh, I believe this time of the year is a bad time for a dyno. Air is a lot dense, and you will see really low numbers.

, and whatever you are talking about anyways, there is always the SAE standard correction factor, to compensate for the different weather

also the air is denser now due to it being colder vs the summer air temps


think how much faster your car is just at night from the cooler temps out, so you will see higher numbers till it is corrected
