Doesn't the WIS provide trouble shooting steps? Our Infiniti FSM provides all
the trouble shooting steps to diagnose the faulty component for each code.
Generally you need the appropriate wiring diagram, a multi-meter, maybe a
mity-vac.

Hi All,
My daughter's 2011 Mercedes C300 (35K) has a check engine light with a Code
P410 (Secondary Air Injection System Malfunction). Any help on the best
logical approach to finding the issue would be greatly appreciated. Fixes seem
to range from changing a check valve to replacing the
Nothing attached...

I have always had trouble understanding rear end ratios.
Simple. a 4.11 rear end: the driveshaft turns 4.11 revolutions per
one revolution of both axles.
3.50 rear end: the driveshaft turns 3.5 revolutions per one
revolution of both axles.
3.00 rear end: the driveshaft turns 3.00 revoluti
Taller gears will keep RPMs down when cruising on the highway which is what
that car is for. The higher stall speed of the torque converter makes up for
the possible loss of acceleration from a stop.
