I have another question, how does the re tune effect fuel efficiency? I bought my smart with the belief that fuel prices would go up and for my daily commute back and fourth to the office there is no need for me to drive my 3.0L V6 Maxima when I am…
I hate that! I have that done to me almost every day! Makes my smart look slower than it actually is. Why do people not understand that you have to at least match the speed of the traffic you are trying to merge in to in order to do it safely and ef…
I have a question, can this remapping be done via my laptop and the OBDII port or do we have to remove the ECU and send it in and be without transportation?
I have a 1986 toyota pickup, with the 22r engine in it, completely stock. I had my daughter drive with me to see how long it would take to go from 0-60. 18 seconds! My '09 smart is faster, I could deal with the 16.8 second diesel smart easily. If it…
Wow, and I was just on their site looking at possibly upgrading my exhaust since I live not too far from them. I know all I need to know now. Thanks for sharing.
Good to hear that yours is now running without fault... as it should be.
It is something that should not fail. No moving parts; not exposed to engine oil, etc. But without it, no ignition timing, so no go.
I reset the Scangauge so that it had no dia…
well I am happy to say that since my incident I have had zero problems with the car after they replaced the Crankshaft Position Sensor. Sorry you missed your 800km round trip. Seems like this is not a very common component to go bad so they do not s…
Hi Seumas,
Umm... errr.... I've been having cold start problems for the past few weeks and the prime suspect was the battery. It did have loose connections and was not fully charged. However, after charging it over the weekend, it still had problem…
I finally figured out how to get the high mileage out of my smart on the highway. It's easy, I just stopped driving 70+mph and viola 45-50 mpg lol. I guess what the epa means by highway is more like 55-60 mph not the 70mph speed limit on Florida's T…
I bought and installed an Ecometer on my smart. It works good, but you do have to "tune" it so to speak as it comes set by default to 100% efficiency and will not give you the correct mpg unless you change this to something lower. I first set it to…
O compre a un lector de código. Son más baratos que a "scan guage". Creo yo vie uno para $89 en Advanced Auto Parts. Y como dijeron, toma su Smart a un mecánico, ellos lo tienen el equipo para leer los códigos.
It's time to move on. I've deleted my posts and never to return.
I wish the Smart Madness Team and the Smart Car Community an Excellent New Year!!
Sincerely,

We look forward to another great year and wish you and…
"The "ad" forgot to mention that many auto insurance policies now offer absolutely free windshield replacements. Check you policy first for this provision to see how long the crack has to be before the provision kicks in."
I cannot believe more peo…
