Hey Guys,
2018 Mustang GT here, 6-Speed Manual with 20k miles on it. For quite awhile I have thought this car doesn't run quite right, it sounds terrible with light throttle application at low speeds. I've taken the car to two Ford Dealers.... one of them I went to 3x and the lead mastertech told me to go somewhere else and at another dealer they failed to follow through with their promises of looking at my car.
It's had a total of 4 trips to the dealer and every time they will not put the car on a lift, hook up a scan tool... NOTHING. I bought myself a scan tool and started running live data on the car. No codes, no faults.... BUT on the live data, I noticed my long term fuel trim is always pretty deep into the negative side.
On idle my Long Term Fuel Trim 1 is always at -3.9% and Long Term Fuel Trim 2 is at -6.25%.... when I was driving around Long Term Fuel Trim 1 got to -10.1% and Long Term Fuel Trim 2 is at -12.5%.
I'm not sure if that's too far into the negative or not, but it seems pretty far down to me. What do you think? What should I do from here?
(The Short Term Fuel Trim btw stayed right at about 0 the entire time).
Thanks for reading everyone!
