Hey guys, was driving tonight and all of a sudden the car started hesitating on throttle, was stuttering and losing power...(only used medium throttle to 4k...nothing crazy) Engine was warm...35 degrees out here in Colorado.
I saw a bunch of indicators light up and it said I couldn't switch driving modes or exhaust modes.
Saw that service engine light was on. Pulled over, turned off car and on again. Engine light was still on....then get a notice on my FordPass app on my phone that "The Engine system has detected a misfire fault"
I can tell its not firing correctly...power isn't their and there is more vibration..don't hear and noises or scraping internally..it's just running like crap. Car has been flawless up until now...no tick or anything.
Anyway I'm taking her to the dealer in the morning - It's a 2019 Mustang GT PP1 (2,900 miles)
I've got a PBD E85 Tune (running E85 pump gas), Corsa Catback (stock headers), and Steeda Cold Air Intake.
I spoke to my dealer when I bought the car and he said that a tune would not void any warranty claims and that they were very good about service (Longmont Ford, CO) ....we'll see soon enough!
Here's my question for those who have experience - Would you recommend reverting my E85 tune back to stock before taking her in? What about the airbox, should I install the stock one?
I have 3/4 tank left of E85 so I'd have to drive it around for a while in limp mode...not sure I want to do that....I guess I can just let it idle for hours to get rid of noost of the E85 then fill up with 91.
Thoughts or any advice?
Appreciate it!
