No More Stumble with V.38

I got my car back from servicing yesterday. The dealer fixed 3 out of 5 problems despite giving them 2 months advance notice of the parts that I will need. But the best and most dramatic fix is the disappearance of my Stumble that I lived with for 23,500 miles!!! Woooohooooo, I love it! Car feels better than new. 6,000 rpm shifts no longer hiccups in 1st gear, just nice smooth power delivery! Yay!!! I love my MC.

Give it another couple thousand miles to see if the fix holds up before chanting final victory.

Had V.38 installed yesterday, also. Haven't had a chance to flog it, yet, but at least it starts now. It does feel smoother.

Mine was so smooth after the recent computer upgrade. Unfortunately, the computer decided to "learn" and now it is back to stumbly starts. As has been said, give it a little time...

Taking my 03 MC into Roadshow next Wednesday for V-38 upgrade. Hope it smooths out my hot weather/air conditioning on stumble.

I got V38 on my '02 MCS about a week and a half ago... it was running 110% for the first four or five days. Then it started the low idle (threatening to stall without actually stalling) at lights and now a the yo-yo's coming back... why couldn't I have a stupid computer than can't relearn old tricks???
