I have owned the car since March 2015, built in February, light came on at 500 mile mark going up a hill, stayed on till I got car tuned, the tune disabled the check engine light till car had about 4848 miles this month, light came back on after a rough idle, the idle calmed as car reached operating temp, but rough idle continued after cold starts but would always calm down when warm.
I had read about the dealer fix for this issue which is done by a reprogram of PCM, so took it in yesterday after having removed custom tune earlier this week, and replaced to stock, they called today said everything was good please pick up, I was surprised to find that the car felt completely different than before, as I took it up a long freeway on ramp, first and second felt strong to begin with, but bogged down in middle range of rpms, 3rd was a little better but still boggy in middle, as I reached 4th it opened up a bit, but their is a weird feel to car for sure, was wondering if anyone who has had this reprogram done has felt this as well, I also thought, I wonder if Ford has reprogrammed these earlier 2015-16 cars with a serious cut in power to prevent any blown motors, your experience or ideas with this are greatly appreciated, also I will be putting custom tune back on car and see how she feels, thanks
